Winter May Be Cold But Cockroaches Stay Bold

Karachi mein sardi bhale do hafte ki ho magar cockroaches ki winter vacation kabhi nahi hoti.

While we’re pulling out cozy blankets and debating whether it’s ‘actual winter’ yet, cockroaches are busy finding warm corners in our kitchens, bathrooms, and store rooms. And honestly… they’re too comfortable. Here’s the thing: Winter doesn’t reduce cockroaches, it relocates them. Cold outside + warm indoors = your home becomes their Airbnb. So let’s fix that before the “rent-free residents” start inviting their cousins.

1.   Why Cockroaches Love Karachi Winters

Warm kitchens: Stoves, microwaves, and fridges create perfect heat pockets. Water sources: Geyser pipes, bathroom drains, leaking taps. Food crumbs: Winter snacks + dry fruits = midnight buffet for roaches. Clutter: Storage areas become hideouts (especially if untouched since last winter).

3.   Easy DIY Fixes Before They Multiply

Cockroaches may act like they pay rent in winter, but a few simple habits can shut down their entire operation. Start by sealing all food in airtight containerstrust me, these bugs have degrees in “finding crumbs.” Make it a routine to keep your kitchen drains dry at night; it’s a tiny step that makes a surprisingly big difference. Try decluttering just one small area a day, especially storage spaces that roaches treat like their winter penthouses. And whatever you do, don’t leave trash overnight; old food plus a warm kitchen is basically a five-star invitation. Finally, keep an eye out for damp corners because for cockroaches, moisture is luxury living, and we’re not here to offer them a spa.
