Cockroaches thrive in dark, damp environments, making garages an ideal habitat. Here's how to get rid of them.
Why Roaches Love Garages
- Dark, undisturbed spaces
- Moisture from poor drainage or leaks
- Food sources (pet food, garbage, cardboard)
- Easy entry through gaps and cracks
Elimination Methods
- Clean thoroughly — Remove clutter, sweep, and mop
- Seal entry points — Caulk cracks and gaps around doors and windows
- Use bait stations — Place in corners and along walls
- Apply boric acid — Dust in cracks and crevices
- Set sticky traps — Monitor population levels
- Remove moisture — Fix leaks and improve ventilation
Prevention
- Keep the garage clean and dry
- Store food in sealed containers
- Remove cardboard boxes (roaches eat the glue)
- Keep garbage cans sealed
- Use weatherstripping on the garage door
