Cockroaches in Summer: Why Their Presence Increases and How to Prevent It

As summer arrives, it’s common to notice a rise in cockroach activity in homes and workplaces. But why does this happen? And more importantly, what can we do to prevent them from becoming a problem? Here we explain the reasons behind this seasonal spike and the best ways to stop it.

Why Cockroach Activity Increases in Summer

Summer provides the ideal environment for cockroaches to thrive due to several factors:

• Warm temperatures: Cockroaches are cold-blooded and become more active in warm weather. Heat speeds up their metabolism and reproductive cycle.
• Increased humidity: Summer humidity creates perfect conditions for their survival, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and drains.
• Abundant food: With more organic waste and leftover food around, it’s easier for them to find what they need to survive and reproduce.
• Seeking shelter: Cockroaches look for cool, shady places to escape the heat—our homes often provide the perfect refuge.

Why Prevention Matters

Cockroaches are not just unpleasant—they pose a health risk. These insects can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria, viruses, and allergens that cause illnesses like salmonella, gastroenteritis, and respiratory allergies. Their presence also compromises the hygiene and well-being of living and working spaces.

Tips for Preventing Cockroaches

Preventing a cockroach infestation in the summer requires proactive and consistent actions. Here are some helpful tips:

1. Keep things clean: Remove food crumbs, don’t leave dirty dishes overnight, and take out the trash regularly.
2. Seal cracks and entry points: Inspect walls, doors, and windows for cracks or gaps and seal them to block cockroach entry.
3. Reduce excess moisture: Fix leaks in faucets, pipes, and drains, and use dehumidifiers in damp areas.
4. Use ultrasonic devices: Diamond Bell® ultrasonic devices are an effective, safe, and environmentally friendly way to keep cockroaches away without using toxic products.
