Major 4 Signs Of Cockroach Infestation

Most of the time, the cockroaches become active in the night. They used to hide in the dark or moist places. Thus, it becomes difficult for an individual to find them. Moreover, a fact about the cockroaches is they can survive without food for one month and water for a maximum of 15 days. As a result, when you think roaches are dead with your DIY methods, they stay hidden until you go to sleep.

So, here is a list of significant signs of roaches infestation that you should never overlook.

Physically Seeing Roaches

The best time to inspect the cockroaches in your home is night, especially around the kitchen. In case, you find cockroaches in the day time, it means they are available in a large number. They stay hidden, but overcrowding makes them appear in daylight.

Roach Faces

Commonly, the cockroaches droppings resemble coffee ground or black pepper. But, larger cockroaches may expel cylindrical droppings. The amount and appearance of their droppings may vary depending on their species. If you find a large number of feces, it is a good indicator for roaches infestation.

Roach Egg Cases

Cockroaches are the aggressive breeders, and they produce ootheca which are home of eggs. When the eggs hatch, the ootheca is left which is an evidence of their infestation. You may even notice ootheca with unhatched eggs when inspecting roaches in your home.

Unpleasant Odor

Roaches deliver the pungent, musty odor that becomes worse if the infestation goes on. The smell can come if you have a large number of roaches hidden in your house.
