COCKROACH CONTROL

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

You might already know that you have a cockroach infestation, but here are a few of the most common signs cockroach exterminators might see.

 

Cockroach Droppings

Cockroach droppings are about the size, shape, and color of a grain of black pepper. They’re usually found in the back of drawers or cabinets, behind bookshelves, under ovens or refrigerators, or other obscure, hidden places.

 

Molted Exoskeletons

Cockroaches shed their skin (exoskeleton) during a process called “molting.” These might look like brown or black shells left behind where they commonly hang out.

A Weird Smell

Their exoskeleton (skin) has a musty odor that people can smell, especially in extreme cases of a cockroach infestation.

 

Live Cockroaches

Cockroaches are sometimes found under garbage cans, under refrigerators, or other places. They can be forced to scurry away if their hiding place is discovered. 

What You Need to Know About Cockroaches

  • Cockroaches can be dangerous, as they carry microbial pathogens. 
  • E coli and salmonella are just two such pathogens cockroaches have been known to spread because of the unsanitary places where they hang out. 
  • If you have a cockroach infestation, you’ll typically find them in moist, warm areas, including:
    • The bathroom
    • Inside the walls
    • Under the kitchen sink
    • In your pantry 
    • Your basement floor

Frequently asked pest control questions

It’s possible to eliminate a cockroach infestation, but there’s no telling whether they might come back. Roaches are really good at hitchhiking, hiding, and crawling into tiny cracks and crevices.

Cockroaches will leave behind a few signs you can detect. If you spot any of these signs, it’s best to contact professional pest control experts right away:

Fecal spots, which look like tiny black pepper dots that stick to any surface where they were deposited.

A musty smell, which is produced by the keratin of their exoskeletons.

Water streaks, As cockroaches grow, they leave behind smears in little water puddles or moist areas as their abdomen drags along the ground.

Discarded exoskeletons. As a cockroach grows, it sheds its exoskeleton in a process called molting.

Egg shells. Ootheca are egg sacs that hold up to 40 eggs. After the eggs hatch, the ootheca hardens into a shell.

Live cockroaches. Cockroaches hate to be out in the open, prefering to be active at night instead. You might see them when you flip on the light or startle them.

German cockroaches can multiply extremely fast, which makes them tough to eradicate. Females can lay 30-40 eggs at once. If she lays her eggs in the house, the infestation could be serious, extensive, and spread throughout the house within just a few months or less.

Follow the helpful hints listed above. Cockroaches are less likely to stick around if there’s no food and few hiding places. That is why frequent, rigorous cleaning is vital. Those methods are most effective when combined with professional pest control.
