- j4yav 3y agoAll it takes is one pregnant cockroach in a box somewhere. They will often hide in electronic devices.

I put it in a trash bag and ran to put it in the garbage outside. The exterminator and landlord both said the warmth and moisture of coffee machines is a magnet for roaches and coffee is their favorite snack.
- reactordev 3y agoOne more reason to ditch the kcups for the real thing using a french press or pour over. Use a percolator if you must but ditch those kcup machines. They make tiny single serve french presses. Coffee grounds, cardboard, paper, compost, all favorites of the American cockroach.
- raisedbyninjas 3y agoIt probably doesn't help much against a roach infestation, but fully automatic espresso machines make a good cup and keep the convenience. Ours was $1500 and has already paid for itself buying whole beans instead of k-cups.
- reactordev 3y agoI would imagine the broiler would probably be just as much a target as a keurig machine. Same with drip. Anything where it’s an appliance that just sits in its grime on the counter while producing humidity.
- xp84 3y agoCan support this statement. Ours has a nicer version available today for $799 (Philips) and it’s freaking amazing.
- grogenaut 3y agoCan also support this the only thing better than a super automatic coffee machine is a better super automatic coffee machine or an aeropress

- Avshalom 3y agoI once had found a nest of ants inside a laptop. The laptop was on a table in the middle of a 40'x40' room but one day I came in, turned it on and for the next 15 minutes ant pieces flew out of the fan exhaust.

- joecool1029 3y agoSprint sent me a magic box some years ago (It's like a cellphone repeater). UPS helpfully threw the box out in the snow where it was discovered a few days later. We installed it and bits of bug I'd never seen before started coming out. Turns out it was full of dead German cockroaches that presumably froze to death. I live in a pretty rural area so the only ones I see sometimes in the summer that have hitched rides before are the virginia woods cockroaches that fly. But I've never seen them infest a house, they just seem to be attracted to the lights.
- satori99 3y agoCorrugated cardboard (boxes) can be a vector for cockroach eggs. I once crewed on a yacht whose captain forbid any cardboard boxes to be brought aboard for this reason.
