December 5, 2024

The holidays are all about family, food, and fun—not uninvited guests like cockroaches! Unfortunately, these pests are known for sneaking in and spoiling the celebration. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some simple tips to keep your holiday feast pest-free.

5 Ways to Keep Cockroaches Away from Your Holiday Feast

1. Seal Up Crumbs and Leftovers

Cockroaches are attracted to food scraps, so make sure to clean up any crumbs and wipe down surfaces regularly. After meals, seal leftovers in airtight containers to keep them safe from pests.

2. Store Food Properly

Don’t leave food sitting out overnight, especially sugary treats or greasy dishes. Store everything in sealed containers, and don't forget about pet food—it’s a cockroach favorite!

3. Keep Your Kitchen Tidy

A cluttered kitchen is a perfect hiding place for cockroaches. Take the time to clean behind appliances, under sinks, and in cabinets. Regularly check for cracks and gaps around plumbing or walls that could be entry points for these pests.

4. Take Out the Trash Daily

Ensure trash is taken out regularly during your holiday gatherings. This keeps any lingering food smells from attracting pests. Line your bins with tight-fitting lids to keep cockroaches out.

5. Set Traps & Baits

Cockroach traps and baits can help catch any unwelcome visitors before they make a meal of your holiday spread. Place them strategically in dark corners, under appliances, and along walls where roaches may travel.
