Cockroaches are famous for hiding and resting almost anywhere in any house. They prefer dark, secluded, and warm places, and as you can guess, microwaves meet all these requirements.

Microwaves offer easy access to food and water. If you don’t clean your microwave often, grease, oil, and food debris will build up over time, providing cockroaches with the things they need to live for a long time and grow their population.

Cockroaches eat crumbs, food debris, and even spillages. Microwaves are also a perfect place for cockroaches to access other areas in the house.

Moreover, microwaves also work as hiding spaces for cockroaches to lay their eggs and raise their babies. Therefore, if you see baby cockroaches in the microwave, act as fast as possible because a cockroach may have already laid its eggs.

You swept, mopped, took out the trash, and cleaned countertops, yet you still see cockroaches walking around. Does that mean your house is not as clean as it should be? Not necessarily! Your cleaning methods may not even be the source.

Cockroaches are common almost anywhere in the U.S. They don’t always show up because of sanitation problems, so be relieved if you clean your house thoroughly. The issue is probably unrelated to cleanliness. But why is there a sudden appearance of roaches in your clean house?

Roaches are a nuisance. You see one running across your kitchen floor during dinner, and you ruin your appetite. You see one on the counter while you are entertaining guests, and you feel mortified. You one running across your baby’s foot, and you worry about the health of your family.
