what attracts roaches?

Answer 1

water and food crumbs, make sure you clean very well around the areas like the kitchen and bathroom and spray roach killer around the door, the floor boards in the bathroom and kitchen

Answer 2

Roaches are attracted to messy dishes and unsanitary living conditions, true. But that's not necessarily how you get roaches. Roaches can sneak in from neighbor's apartments, in grocery bags, tag sale items (they love anything electric, like toasters, radios, computers, gaming systems). But the good news is that there is ONE product available that will get rid of them FOREVER. I know, because I lived through ROACH HELL before. It is called COMBAT ROACH GEL. It costs around 9 bucks for a tube that will do a small apartment. You spread the gel around baseboards, sinks, garbage cans, cabinet doors, toilets, places you have seen roaches run to and disappear. Within a few days, the roaches will have eaten the gummy gel (they actually love it) and carried it back to their nests. There, they die and the other roaches eat their bodies and ingest the gel, too. In less than a week, if you do see a roach, it will be running in slow motion and nearly dead. This stuff is priceless.

Answer 3

I keep a clean apartment but what started attracting roaches was when I moved my iguana out of a class cage into a wire cage about 6 feet tall. I began noticing roaches. The exterminator came out but I would not allow him to spray my pets room (seen no roaches there). The exterminator told me that he seen no roach nest but sprayed the apartment anyway. Later, I continued to see roaches and checked my pets room sense that was the only room not sprayed. I found the roach nest in a box next to my iguana's cage. They would leave the box and eat my iguana's dropping. The nest was "ugly" with about 24 adult roaches, eggs and baby roaches.

Later, I had roach problem again, checked my iguana's room and could not find roaches in there so I just sat and watched/waited. Seen a roach crawl from under my pets light stand. Took the stand into the bath tub and begin spraying it. Out came another 2 dozen of large roaches, babies and inside were eggs, again, leaving the light stand to enter the cage and eat the droppings.

I sprayed the room and now will invest in roach motels. Good luck.

P.S. If you have them, look for the nest !
