- Excess moisture and standing water

- Leaving dirty dishes in the sink
Leaving dirty dishes in the sink after having your meals is certainly a bad practice. They can even feed leftovers from the plates. Hence leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight is an invitation for the cockroaches to come and have a party! Once cockroaches see some source of food, they will keep coming there again and again.
- Open dustbins and trash cans
Cockroaches can feed on non-edible items such as paper, cardboard, pencil shavings, and garbage present in the dustbins and trash cans. Hence, even if you have cleared the garbage out of your home and kept it in the trash can, it is of no use if the dustbins are open and not sealed properly. Cockroaches will enter the open bins and create more and more colonies of their kind.
