Where Should You Spray for Cockroaches?

Where Should You Spray for Cockroaches?

Knowing where to spray is just as important as choosing the right cockroach killer. Cockroaches spend most of the day hiding in dark, protected areas and come out at night to search for food and water. Treating the places where they hide and travel can help you eliminate active infestations more effectively.

Always read and follow the product label for complete application instructions before using Natural Armor Roach Killer.

Spray Along Baseboards

Cockroaches frequently travel along walls and baseboards as they move through your home.

Apply Natural Armor Roach Killer according to the product directions:

• Along baseboards

• In room corners

• Along wall-floor joints

• Around door frames

These are common travel routes for cockroaches.

Treat Behind Appliances

Large appliances create warm, dark spaces that cockroaches love.

Spray around:

• Refrigerators

• Stoves and ovens

• Dishwashers

• Washing machines

• Dryers

These areas often provide warmth, moisture, and shelter.

Under Sinks and Around Plumbing

Water attracts cockroaches, making plumbing areas one of their favorite hiding places.

Treat:

• Under kitchen sinks

• Under bathroom sinks

• Around water pipes

• Around drain lines

• Around utility plumbing

Be sure to repair any plumbing leaks to eliminate moisture that may continue attracting cockroaches.

Spray Inside Cabinets and Storage Areas

Cockroaches often hide inside cabinets, especially near plumbing or food storage.

Apply according to the label directions:

• Inside sink cabinets

• Pantry corners

• Utility cabinets

• Storage shelves

• Dark cabinet corners

Inspect these areas regularly for signs of activity.

Treat Entry Points

Cockroaches commonly enter homes through small openings.

Spray around:

• Doors

• Windows

• Garage entrances

• Utility penetrations

• Foundation cracks

• Basement windows

Sealing these openings after treatment can help prevent additional cockroaches from entering.

Don't Forget Basements and Garages

Basements and garages often provide ideal hiding conditions because they are darker, quieter, and sometimes more humid than living areas.

Treat:

• Baseboards

• Storage areas

• Utility rooms

• Water heaters

• Foundation walls

• Garage door edges

Routine treatment in these locations can help prevent cockroaches from spreading into your home.

Combine Treatment with Prevention

Spraying alone works best when combined with good housekeeping.

For long-term control:

• Keep food sealed.

• Clean up crumbs and spills.

• Empty trash regularly.

• Eliminate standing water.

• Reduce clutter.

• Seal entry points.

• Reapply Natural Armor Roach Killer according to the product directions if new activity is observed.

A complete prevention plan can help keep your home protected year-round.
