Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

When you suspect an infestation, it is Important to immediately locate it. How? By looking at some apparent signs. Here are some tell-tale signs that indicate cockroach presence in your premises:

• Droppings – black grainy droppings can be found in the cabinets and across the walls or routes that they travelled on
• Smear marks – where water is abundant, brown and irregular shaped smear marks will appear on flat surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Moulted skin – evident of brownish skins can be located close to where they’re breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins about five (5) to eight (8) times when they grow to mature
• Egg instances – appear as small dark brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – look for signs of damage on food packaging and natural items as with leather and books
• Unpleasant odor – a distinct foul odor when cockroaches are found in substantial numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around kitchens and bathrooms

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Any property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. Particularly if the property has a lot of factors where cockroaches are attracted to. They are easy to spot on assumptions with cracks, crevices, and their infestation may spread over vents, sewers and pipe drain

The most effective way to keep these nuisance pests is to deny them access to food, shelter and water. Without these, it is not possible for them to thrive and breed in your house and no infestation will occur.

As cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that enjoy dark, warm, moist hiding places in cracks, crevices, or hard-to-reach corners, the first step to eradicating an infestation is removing food sources and hiding places, particularly because cockroaches only return to habitable places.

For the best approach, it is best to call a pest control professional.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of an infestation:

• Remove food resources – keep dry foods in tightly sealed boxes or in sealed plastic bags and don’t go away with food sitting out in the open area
• Clear all waste food and spillage – smooth up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and house equipment. Empty the rubbish daily and maintain all waste in protected bins
• Declutter – cast off old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard packaging containers and all different varieties of clutter from the ground or bottom of cabinets which may provide a hiding area for cockroaches
• Seal entry points – secure areas including gaps around door, pipes and cracks to reduce cockroaches’ hiding place and access into your home
