Holiday Cooking Without Roaches: A Kitchen Checklist
More cooking means more crumbs, more trash and more cardboard. Roaches notice.
Why do roaches love holiday kitchens?
Extra food, extra dishes and extra people mean more places for crumbs to hide. Warm ovens and wet sinks add to the draw.
What should I clean before and after a big meal?
Wipe under and behind small appliances
Clean the stovetop edges and drip trays
Rinse recycling and empty the trash that night
Check under the sink for drips
What about leftovers and pet food?
Seal leftovers in hard containers. Pick up pet bowls at night. Roaches can find a small bowl in the dark in minutes.
What about shipping boxes?
Gifts mean boxes. Roaches love to hide in cardboard. Take boxes out of the kitchen and break them down fast.
When should I call?
If you see a roach in daylight, find droppings, or spot tiny baby roaches, call us. Early help is simple and gentle on your holiday plans.
Quick Answers
Will cleaning alone get rid of roaches?
It helps a lot, but it often is not enough once they are established.
Can you work around my holiday plans?
Yes. We schedule around your week and keep it simple.
Do dishwashers attract roaches?
Wet, warm spots can. Run it, empty it and keep the area dry.
