How to Get Rid of Ants & Cockroaches for Raya Open House
With Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2026 arriving around late March, the mood to get the house “Raya-ready” is on. You’ve picked the color theme, the rendang is in the works, and the balang kuih are being filled. But there is one thing that can ruin the festive mood faster than a burnt batch of cookies, seeing a cockroach scuttle across the kitchen floor or finding a trail of ants in your dodol. Yuck!
For families in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, or across the Klang Valley, the festive season is a high-risk time for pest invasions. More food prep means more crumbs, more smells, and more reasons for pests like ants or cockroaches to move in.
Why are there so many ants in my kitchen before Raya?
Ants are expert scouts. During the Raya rush, the smell of sugar, syrups, and coconut milk is like an invitation card to them. If you see a few “scouts,” a whole colony is usually behind them. To stop them, avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight and wipe down counters with a mild soap solution immediately after cooking.
How do I get rid of cockroaches before Raya?
Cockroaches are nocturnal and love damp, dark places like under the sink or behind the fridge. Because they carry bacteria that cause food poisoning, DIY method like “spraying and praying” isn’t enough to destroy all of them. Ridpest pest control services can effectively kills the nest, not just the one bug you see. You can get your Raya promo here: Get promo here

3 Tips to Keep Pests Away During the Raya Open House:
The “Airtight” Rule
Store all your kuih raya in glass or hard plastic containers with silicone seals. Ants can easily crawl through the threads of cheap plastic lids.
Dry Your Sinks
Cockroaches are attracted to moisture. Before you go to bed, wipe your kitchen sink dry to remove their water source.
Manage the Trash
With more guests comes more rubbish. Use bins with tight-fitting lids and move bags to the outdoor collection point immediately after the party ends.
Make sure your guests are the only ones eating your Raya feast and not the uninvited guest – cockroaches! Claim your 25% OFF Raya 2026 Bundle and request your professional quote today.
