Why cockroaches love garbage
Cockroaches are among the most persistent and unpleasant hygiene pests.
They are nocturnal, hide during the day in cracks or under appliances – and come out as soon as it gets dark and quiet.
One of their main attractions: waste and organic residues.
Whether in the kitchen, the warehouse, or behind the dishwasher – cockroaches find everything they need there: warmth, moisture, and food.
That is why professional waste management is the first and most important step to prevent infestation.
Mistakes that attract cockroaches
-
Open waste containers
Uncovered buckets or garbage bags attract both cockroaches and flies.
→ Tip: Always use containers with closed lids and empty them daily. -
Food residues in drains or corners
Crumbs, grease residues, or spilled liquids are ideal food sources.
→ Regularly clean floor drains, drains, and hard-to-reach spots. -
Damp waste rooms
Standing water or damp walls provide perfect breeding conditions.
→ Ensure good ventilation and regularly dry rooms. -
Incorrect waste separation
Organic waste in the wrong bins accelerates decomposition and attracts insects.
→ Separate waste properly and clean containers daily. -
Overnight storage
Waste left overnight attracts cockroaches – especially in warm temperatures.
→ Dispose of waste in the evening or store it in closed containers.
How to effectively prevent
-
Daily cleaning of waste areas
Also under containers, behind bins, and along walls. -
Regular inspection using monitoring traps
Even a few cockroaches are a sign of infestation beginning. -
Keep dry!
Moisture is cockroach magnet number one. - Store waste outside kitchen areas, if possible.
