About Cockroaches

German Cockroaches commonly infest interiors —kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. They prefer areas where we eat and they are attracted to the heat and motors of electrical appliances (refrigerators, TV’s, dishwashers, microwaves, etc.). Cockroaches are common in apartment buildings with shared walls; they hide in moving boxes and often move in with new tenants.
