Why cockroaches appear in kitchens at night

Cockroaches are nocturnal and emerge at night to search for leftover food and water.

They hide during the day in dark spots like under sinks, behind gas stoves, in cupboard cracks, and near pipelines.

Cockroaches are attracted to leftover food, open containers, dustbin smells, dirty dishes in the sink, and moisture from leaky pipes or wet cloths.

Night provides a quiet, dark environment ideal for cockroaches to breed, so frequent sightings may indicate a growing infestation.
