Pests & FacilitiesQuestion 157 of 240
Which condition would most likely attract and support a roach population in a kitchen?
a.Grease buildup, food debris, moisture, and warm hidden spaces behind equipment
b.Dry, clean floors with sealed food containers
c.Bright lighting and frequent cleaning
d.Cold, well-organized storage
Explanation
Roaches thrive where there is grease, food debris, moisture, warmth, and dark hidden harborage such as behind and under equipment. Removing these — through deep cleaning, dryness, sealed storage, and sealing gaps — denies roaches what they need. Clean, dry, organized, well-lit spaces discourage them.
