Roaches live their lives like an unending game of hide-and-seek, except they never want to be found. These pests are positively thigmotactic, meaning they can compress their bodies and organs to fit into extremely tight places. This is just one of the reasons why roach problems require professional pest treatments, especially if the infestation has managed to grow to a frightening size. It is essential to be observant of any signs of roaches in your East St. Louis home or business, as these pests contaminate everything they touch and will only continue to reproduce with time.

There are plenty of places in a typical home or building for a group of roaches to hide, thanks to their special ability. Some of their favorite places include:

• Inside cabinets or drawers
• Inside and underneath cardboard boxes
• Inside trash cans
• Inside vents and wall outlets
• Under furniture
• Under appliances
• Inside sinks, drains, and tubs
• Inside baseboards
• Amidst clutter (papers, idle clothing, junk, etc.)
• Underneath and behind kick-boards
