Here are common signs indicating you might need cockroach extermination:
- Sightings of Live or Dead Cockroaches: Spotting cockroaches during the day can indicate a large infestation, as they are nocturnal and prefer dark, moist areas. Finding dead cockroaches is also a clear sign of an infestation.
- Droppings: Cockroach droppings resemble black pepper or coffee grounds and are found where they are most active. The quantity of droppings can indicate the level of infestation.
- Egg Cases (Oothecae): Cockroaches lay eggs in cases called oothecae, which are oblong and dark-coloured. Finding these cases in your home suggests an active breeding population.
- Foul Odour: A musty, unpleasant smell that grows stronger over time can be a sign of a significant infestation.
- Smear Marks: In areas with high moisture, cockroaches will leave smear marks as they crawl. These marks can be irregular and either dark or light.
- Damage to Food Packages: Cockroaches are not picky eaters and will chew through packaging to access food. Damage to food packages or organic goods is a common indicator.
