One of the reasons why roaches are such a frustrating pest is because they are experts at hiding. They are nocturnal and prefer to stay in damp, dark places as much as possible. This is how a Clayton roach problem can go undiscovered for quite some time, as it is easy to miss them in the basement or garage if you do not go there everyday. No matter which room they invade, roaches like to stay completely hidden in and around stagnant objects. They can compress everything in their bodies because they are positively thigmotactic, so roaches are more likely to be found in tight spaces than out in the open.
Some of the most common hiding places that roaches particularly seek out include:
- Inside boxes and containers
- Between appliances
- Inside wall voids
- Behind refrigerators
- Under sinks
- Inside cabinets
- Behind baseboards and trim
- Inside drains and pipes
