Cockroaches love silicone

When you store your dive masks or any other equipment with silicone on it. Make sure to keep it in an airtight box. Cockroaches will eat the silicone on the skirt of your mask. They don't eat much but over a period of time your mask will not seal well.

If you scrape those little cockroach egg casings off the skirt, it should seal just fine.
