Cockroach Infestation

Cockroaches are attracted to a particular type of environment. Generally, that means warm, airless, and dark. This makes cracks and holes the perfect hiding place for roaches. Cockroaches are not only displeasing to the eye but also a health concern; therefore, one must know what attracts them. Food is the major attractant for cockroaches, and it does not matter whether it is human or pet food.

Unusual Odor

Cockroach odor is described as spicy, musty, and oily. A single roach can only give away a faint smell. When you can smell them, and the odor is strong enough to notice, you already have a huge infestation. Now is no time to mess around! It is best to ask for help from a professional exterminator immediately.

Feces

Cockroach droppings are usually found in areas where they often hide and where they scavenge for food and water. Places where you see more droppings only mean that there is a high traffic of cockroaches, and you should make a note of this area.

Physical Sighting

Seeing them is a sure sign that you have roaches in your house. They are usually around at night since they are nocturnal. Start being more worried when you spot some, even in the morning, which means you have such a large infestation that some get pushed out of their nests.

Egg Capsules

Their egg capsules can be as long as 38 mm and usually contain 10-20 eggs. All the more reason you need to get rid of live eggs when you spot one. You don’t want them to hatch.
