These unpleasant pests, which you can find in virtually every corner of the world, have their preferences when it comes to places to set up housekeeping. They thrive in the warm temperatures we have here in Arizona and seek dark, humid areas. Cockroaches usually hide during the day in various places around your home, including around and behind stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers, inside narrow cracks and crevices, under the sinks in kitchens and bathrooms, and in cabinets and drawers.
You may also find them hiding under or behind small appliances in your kitchen, such as coffee makers, microwave ovens, toasters, and toaster ovens. Roaches are also likely to be wherever they can find water; look for them in floor drains in bathroom vanities (particularly if you have a pipe leaking there), around water heaters, humidifiers, washing machines, garage freezers, or near any types of sink.
You may even find them behind electrical outlets and light switch plates, behind pictures on the walls, or in upholstered furniture. Cockroaches also like the heat generated by electronics around the house, such as TVs, clocks, and computers.
