Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

Here are a few tell-tale signs that suggest cockroach presence to your assumptions:

• Droppings – black grainy droppings can be located inside the shelves and alongside the walls or routes that they walked on
• Smear marks – where water is plentiful, brown and irregular smear marks will appear on flat surfaces and wall ground junctions
• Moulted skin – evidence of brownish skins can be found close to where they may be breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins roughly 5 (five) to eight (eight) 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 organic products including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor – a different, musty odor when cockroaches are found in large numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around lavatories and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for specific species of cockroaches. They could enter the property through multiple entry points, such as cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains.

The most effective approach to keep cockroaches away is to deny them easy access to food, water and shelter, which can be the principal elements that attract them into your home or business

Unlike some of the other insects, cockroaches are a year-round problem. Practicing preventative measures can help reduce an infestation, but various treatments may be required to eliminate one. Some applications aren’t successful when done improperly.

With little investigative work, a persistent method, and deterrent measures, you can make your house a resistant spot for roaches, which will not only deal with an infestation, yet prevent them later on.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are viable actions you could take to reduce the threat of an infestation:

• Remove food tools — 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 – clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Empty the rubbish on a daily basis and maintain all waste in covered bins
• Declutter — cast off old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard packing containers and all various varieties of clutter from the ground or bottom of cabinets that may provide a hiding place for cockroaches
• Seal entry points — seal regions including gaps around door, pipes and cracks to reduce cockroaches’ hiding place and access into your dwelling
