Cockroaches are omnivores and will eat almost anything, but they are especially attracted to foods that are starchy, sugary, greasy, or decaying. Here are some of the most common foods cockroaches eat:

 Human Food

Crumbs and Food Scraps – Leftover food, especially bread, rice, and pasta.

Sugary Items – Fruits, candy, soda, and syrups.

Greasy and Oily Foods – Fried foods, butter, and cooking oil residue.

Meat and Dairy – Cheese, meat scraps, and even spoiled dairy products.

Organic Waste

Rotting Fruits and Vegetables – Cockroaches are attracted to decaying organic matter.

Garbage and Food Waste – Uncovered trash bins provide a food source.
