If cockroaches appear in one room, it is usually the kitchen. They need food, water, and a dark gap. A typical Indian kitchen gives them all three: a greasy stove, a wet sink, and spaces behind the fridge and gas cylinder.
Daily habits that cut the food supply
- Do not leave dirty utensils overnight
- Wipe the stove and counter after cooking, including the edges
- Store rice, sugar, and snacks in sealed containers
- Empty the kitchen bin before night and keep the lid closed
- Fix dripping taps so water does not sit under the sink
Places people forget to clean
The rubber seal of the fridge, the toaster tray, the mixer corner, and the floor under the dishwasher or washing machine collect crumbs. In restaurants, the same problem appears under prep tables and inside floor drains.
When you need professional cockroach control
If you see cockroaches in daylight, find droppings in several cabinets, or notice them returning a week after a shop spray, the nest is larger than a wipe-down can handle. Gel baits and targeted treatment reach cracks that a mop never will.
Mr Antidot treats home kitchens and commercial kitchen areas. We combine cockroach control with kitchen hygiene advice so the result lasts longer than a single spray.
