Occasionally, cockroaches can be found indoors. They inhabit areas that are fairly moist and warm, typically hiding in very tight places such as cracks and other crevices like the void between a cabinet and the wall. It is common to find them congregating in, or near utility motors and electrical units, due to the production of heat. So, kitchens are a prime location due to the heat and proximity to food and water sources.

Unlike man yother bugs, roaches are not social insects. They often forage alone and otherwise behave in an individualistic manner. They are most active at night and can be found searching for starches, greases and sweets.

If a heavy cockroach infestation goes unchecked for an extended period of time, a distinct odor can develop due to their bodily secretions. They can also carry disease-producing bacteria on their bodies, as well as spread allergens from their excrement or their casts. These bacteria and allergens are what can cause people to get sick if contaminated food items or surfaces are ingested or touched.
