Cockroaches cabinet gap in kitchen: What to Check and What to Do Next
A kitchen cabinet gap can be a cockroach hiding or travel route, but a sighting there does not by itself prove the gap is the source. First document signs from a safe, accessible position: live or dead roaches, droppings, shed skins, egg cases, grease or food residue, and moisture near the sink or pipes.

Cockroaches in kitchen droppings: What to Check and What to Do Next
Cockroach droppings are evidence to investigate, not proof of a species or the size of an infestation. Photograph the material without disturbing it, record whether it is a pellet, smear, cast skin, or possible egg case, and map its location against food, water, warmth, appliances, cabinets, and plumbing.

Cockroaches sink base in kitchen: What to Check and What to Do Next
Cockroaches around a kitchen sink base usually mean the area offers some combination of water, food residue, shelter, or an opening around plumbing. Keep people and pets away from visible droppings, bodies, egg cases, and standing or contaminated water; do not touch them bare-handed or spray into plumbing, food storage, or a wet cabinet.
