Signs You’ve Got a Cockroach Problem

Visualization

If you see one (or hear one), you can bet there are more. Roaches love the dark of night and scamper when the lights are turned on. If you see a live or dead cockroach, especially during the day, it’s time to have a professional come to determine whether they were alone or you’ve got an infestation on your hands.

Droppings

If you see what looks like coffee grounds or black pepper on counters, in drawers or cabinets, in your pantry, or in corners, you can assume that it isn’t a spilled kitchen mess, but cockroach droppings. Don’t wait, get professional cockroach control services right away!

Egg Cases

Roaches are quite the voracious breeders and their reproduction methods and sheer number of eggs make them very efficient at it. Unfortunately, most cockroaches keep their egg sacs, known as oothecae, attached to them until the eggs have hatched, releasing between 10 and 50 hungry baby roaches. However, the case they leave behind is a long, brown, translucent casing.

Oily Smell

If you can smell a musty, pungent, oily odor, especially in smaller spaces, you can bet it’s a cockroach colony. While individual cockroaches can emit enough smell for you to notice, typically a noticeable odor is indicative of a large population. The smell is caused by secreted hormones, droppings, and dead, decomposing roaches. Let’s get rid of the smell and your roach problem!
