Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

When you suspect an infestation, it’s Important to instantly locate it. How? By looking at some obvious signs. Here are some tell-tale signs that indicate cockroach existence in your premises:

• Droppings – black grainy droppings can be located within the shelves and alongside the walls or routes that they walked on
• Smear marks – where water is abundant, brown and irregular shaped smear marks will appear on flat surfaces and wall floor 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 adult
• Egg cases – 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 smell when cockroaches are present in substantial numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around bathrooms and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for specific species of cockroaches. It can enter your property through multiple entry points, like cracks, crevices, vents, sewers and pipe drains.

The most effective way to control or eliminate the potential infestation in your property is to seal open locations where water and food are accessible. Therefore, proper sanitation of your leftovers should be properly dealt with.

As cockroaches are nocturnal insects which are into dim, warm, moist hiding spots in cracks, fractures, or hard-to-reach corners, the initial step to destroying the infestation is taking out food sources and hiding spots, since cockroaches just return to habitable places.

With a little detective work, a persistent strategy, and preventative measures, you can make your house an unattractive location for roaches, which won’t only manage an infestation but slso keep them in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are viable steps you could take to reduce the danger of an infestation:

• Eliminate 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 garbage on a daily basis and keep all waste in covered bins
• Clean up – eliminate old piles of papers and magazines, unused cardboard boxes and each other form of clutter from the floor or base of pantries that may give a hiding place to cockroaches
• Seal passing points – seal areas, for example, holes round entryway, cracks and pipes to decrease cockroaches hiding spots and access in your property
