DIY Danger Zone: Space Heater Warmth Attracts Cockroaches
When the temperature drops, many homeowners rely on space heaters to keep their homes cozy. But did you know that the warmth from these heaters can attract unwanted guests? Cockroaches, drawn to heat sources during cold months, often come out of hiding in search of warmth and food. With a cold front sweeping through Dallas-Fort Worth, now is the perfect time for these pests to make an appearance.
Why Do Cockroaches Seek Heat?
Cockroaches are cold-blooded insects, meaning they rely on external heat to regulate their body temperature. During chilly weather, they become more active indoors, gravitating toward warm spaces like:
Near space heaters or radiators
In kitchen appliances or under sinks
Along walls where warm air collects

It might seem easy to handle a few cockroaches with over-the-counter sprays or traps, but this approach rarely addresses the source of the problem. DIY solutions often fail to eliminate hidden infestations, leaving you with recurring issues.
