Medicine cabinets, the plumbing, behind the bath and sink, behind the tiles, just to name a few. The bathroom is preferred because it provides a good source of water and food (toilet paper, soap residue, hair), and it\u2019s dark and moist most of the time. Cockroaches can use the drainage system to move around and even visit your neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">Disgusted already?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">Call our pest technicians and they\u2019ll happily rescue you from any creepy-crawlies.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-type=\"51\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/pest-control.png\" alt=\"Disgusted already?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kitchen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can all agree that cockroaches in close proximity to where food is prepared needs to be avoided at all costs. What can their dwelling be in the kitchen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cupboards.<\/strong> Check the cupboards and cabinets for signs of cockroaches. They prefer undisturbed areas, so inspect every corner, including packages of food and dishes you haven\u2019t used in a while. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behind appliances.<\/strong> The big kitchen appliances provide an easy shelter &#8211; people usually don\u2019t move them around, and it\u2019s hard to reach to clean behind them. The fridge and freezer generate the heat some types of cockroaches require, and behind the dishwasher, they can find the needed moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In appliances.<\/strong> On the other hand, smaller kitchen appliances can also give shelter and food, even on a much smaller scale. Such can be unused coffee machines, toasters, blenders and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t\t<div class=\"related-article\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__title\">You may also like:<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__title -->\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__body\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"related-article__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-kitchen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-Clean-a-Kitchen-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5120px) 100vw, 5120px\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure> <!-- \/.related-article__image -->\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"related-article__desc\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"badge-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"badge badge--\">Cleaning Guides<\/span>\n<\/div>  <!-- \/.badge-holder --> \n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-kitchen\/\" class=\"short-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"How to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHow to Clean a Kitchen Thoroughly &#8211; Checklist\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__desc -->\n\t\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article__body -->\n\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.related-article -->\t\n\t<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laundry rooms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, any place that can provide warmth and a bit of water can be suitable for cockroaches to thrive. It seems like there isn\u2019t a food source there, but remember that cockroaches can survive on things like cardboard boxes. They can move freely through the holes in the wall where the plumbing enters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Basements stay undisturbed by people most of the time so that an infestation can form quickly there and without your knowledge. It\u2019s spacious and provides various nesting spots &#8211; in cracks in the walls and ceiling, floor cavities, behind old unused furniture, inside boxes, you name it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cockroaches chew on newspapers, books and, as we already mentioned &#8211; cardboard. The longer the infestation has been around, the more noticeable the damages get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The drain itself is not a place where the cockroaches usually make a nest unless it hasn\u2019t been used for a long time. A garbage can under the bathroom or kitchen sink might be the reason why cockroaches dwell in and around the drain. There also might be crevices around where the downpipes go into the wall. You can opt-in for drain covers, but that just masks the problem without addressing the real one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outdoors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cockroaches might be nesting outside your home and still come around to visit you in the house. Not all types of roaches like warmth. Some prefer cooler temperatures, which helps them survive in wider conditions. This means they can be hiding in garages, porches, pipe ducts, around rubbish cans and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_get_rid_of_a_cockroach_nest\">How to get rid of a cockroach nest?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"912\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-get-rid-of-a-cockroach-nest.jpg\" alt=\"How to get rid of a cockroach nest?\" class=\"wp-image-12372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-get-rid-of-a-cockroach-nest.jpg 912w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-get-rid-of-a-cockroach-nest-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-get-rid-of-a-cockroach-nest-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-to-get-rid-of-a-cockroach-nest-360x203.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PPC Photography Cologne \/ Shutterstock.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are several steps to remove a cockroach nest and ensure the cockroaches don\u2019t come back to your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Locate the nest.<\/strong> You can do that by inspecting your home as we explained above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Destroy the nest.<\/strong> Clean everything up &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/how-to-kill-cockroach-eggs\/\">egg cases<\/a>, droppings, cockroach skin, dead roaches. This step is important because the unpleasant smell that you might notice is actually a pheromone that attracts other cockroaches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seal all openings.<\/strong> To prevent this from happening all over again (and also from the cockroaches returning to the former nest) you need to seal cracks and cavities in the walls, floor and ceiling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fix leaking pipes.<\/strong> Cockroaches cannot survive without water. So no water means fewer roaches will see your home as suitable for their dwelling.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leave baits around your home.<\/strong> Over-the-counter options come in granule, paste or dust form and they\u2019re relatively easy to apply. Some of the options, like gels, are preferred by parents and pet owners. Always read the labels and instructions before application.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these steps sound easy and straightforward, but the real battle is dealing with the live roaches that survived, not the nest itself. When the cockroaches scatter around, you risk just chasing them from one side of the home to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our suggestion is to find a <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/cockroach-control\/\">professional pest control company<\/a> to inspect, exterminate and monitor the infestation. Exterminators have methods for dealing with different types of cockroaches and know what works. These persistent pests know how to hide and survive with little, so regular checks are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you can do to help is maintain the overall cleanliness of the home and leave the treatment to the professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__body\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"check-price-box__title\">You\u2019re tired of cockroaches bugging you?<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t<p class=\"check-price-box__desc\">Our exterminators can come to the rescue and cleanse your home from all pests.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"form form--full-width form--check-price dynamic-helper\">\n    <form class=\"default-check-price-form\" action=\"\">\n        <div class=\"form__inner\">\n            <div class=\"form__field the-postfield-wrap\">\n                <span class=\"icon-holder\">\n                    <i class=\"icon-pointer\"><\/i>\n                <\/span>\n\n                <input class=\"field the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"Enter your post code\" data-service-type=\"51\"\/>\n                <span class=\"focus-label\"><\/span>\n                <div class=\"field-error-msg\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/div> <!-- \/.field-error-msg -->\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__field -->\n\n            <div class=\"form__btn submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n                <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n                    <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <input class=\"btn btn--large checkpPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Get a quote\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled\/>\n            <\/div> <!-- \/.form__btn -->\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.form__inner -->\n    <\/form>\n<\/div> <!-- \/.check-price-form -->\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__body -->\n\n\t\t<div class=\"check-price-box__img\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lazyloadImage\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fantasticservicesgroup.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/fantasticservices-com-blog\/assets\/images\/check-price-box\/pest-control.png\" alt=\"You\u2019re tired of cockroaches bugging you?\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\t\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget__img -->\n\t<\/div> <!-- \/.card-widget card-widget--obf-form -->\n<\/section> <!-- \/.section section--single-post -->\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section section--single-post\">\n\t<div class=\"takeaways\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"block-title\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"bullet-list bullet-list--normal\">\n\t\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inspect your home thoroughly.<\/strong> Focus on places that are left undisturbed for a prolonged period of time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limit the cockroaches\u2019 exposure to food.<\/strong> No dinner leftovers on the table during the night.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seal cracks.<\/strong> They can\u2019t nest in if they can\u2019t even come in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fix leaking pipes.<\/strong> Cockroaches cannot survive without water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Place baits.<\/strong> Be careful what baits you choose if you have children or pets.
