What to Do After Seeing a Roach Indoors

Finding a roach indoors can be alarming, but the most useful response is to look for the conditions supporting the activity rather than focusing only on the insect you saw.

Check Nearby Moisture

Inspect under sinks, around pipes and near appliances for leaks or condensation.

Look for Food Sources

Clean crumbs, grease and food residue in hidden areas, especially behind appliances.

Inspect Warm, Protected Areas

Roaches may hide in narrow gaps, cabinetry, wall voids and warm equipment areas.

Do Not Wait for Repeated Sightings

Early identification can make control easier. A professional inspection can help determine the type and extent of activity.
