Cockroaches – the one pest that incites chaos in your home. It’s a well-known fact that cockroaches are one of the nastiest pests you could ever encounter and the longer they hang around your home the more difficult it is to get rid of them.
Here are the signs of a cockroach infestation:
Cockroaches leave behind fecal droppings where they go.
Cockroach fecal droppings look similar to ground coffee or black pepper, of course if the cockroaches are larger in size then the fecal droppings are larger too. The more droppings you find the larger the cockroach infestation you have and wherever you find the droppings is where you should target your pest control measures.
If you find their eggs then take it as sufficient warning sign that you have a severe cockroach infestation.
Oothecae, or cockroach egg casings, are an indication of an infestation. Even if you only find one egg casing you should take it as a sign of an infestation and you need to get cockroach control measures in place immediately. One egg casing can hold between 10 to 20 eggs and they are easily identified as a long, round and brown shaped egg.
If you spot roaches during daylight hours you can be assured you have an infestation.
If you spot cockroaches running around your property during the day then you are likely to have a very serious infestation as they are nocturnal critters. Cockroaches scavenge for food and water during the night, so if you spot one during the daytime it’s because the numbers have grown so much that the rogue roach has been pushed out of the nest.
