Cockroaches

Cockroaches enjoy the types of environments that humans create, which is why they are so unfortunately common in homes and businesses. They carry diseases and can contaminate food, utensils, and prep areas. 

These pests are typically found in areas involving food like kitchens, restaurants, or cafes. They can live almost anywhere, from small cracks to ovens to refrigerators. 

Cockroaches are nocturnal and don’t move much during the day. If you see one during daylight, it’s likely a sign of a severe infestation. In more milder conditions, you may notice faecal residue, body parts, carcasses, or a foul odour.
