Pest Organisms / Oriental Cockroach
Prevention
Start with water. Because this roach lives and dies by dampness, fixing leaks, drying basements and crawl spaces, and keeping drains clear removes its core habitat. Source: https://extension.usu.edu/planthealth/ipm/notes_nuisance/oriental-cockroach
Pair that with sanitation and exclusion: store food in pest-proof containers, seal cracks and openings, and add weather stripping and door sweeps to block entry.
