You are doing something. or not doing something that makes your home attractive to them. They can and do come up the drains. Vinegar a mild acid down the drain about a cup once a week will stop that and clean your drains. Food you want to put all of it into plastic containers. Corrugated cardboard boxes, they love to nest in them. Your refrigerator. Crumbs collect under it. It is a choice breeding spot.
I don’t even want to think about NJ roaches/water bugs! Blech!

All our items are stored in plastic tubs. I’ll try the vinegar down the drains, too. Thanks.

Massey told us they come up through the overflow thingy from the tub. I stuffed steel wool there, and any other openings I could find. So far so good.
