Roaches get into the house through open cracks and doors, boxes or bags that sit in the garage before being brought in, or even under kitchen and bathroom sinks. They have the ability to make a home anywhere, making it difficult to narrow down one spot for roach removal.

Most often, roaches come into the house because they are attracted to food scents and they have access to water and other dark hiding places to nest.
