Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

When you suspect an infestation, it is 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 – cockroach droppings are easy to spot and these are black grainy droppings can be found in the cabinets and along the walls or paths that they travelled on
• Smear marks – in which water is a lot, dark coloured and irregular molded smear imprints will show up on level surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Moulted skin – evident of brownish skins can be located close to where they are breeding as immature cockroaches drop skins about five (5) to eight (8) times when they grow to mature
• Egg cases – look like small darkish brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – look for signs of damage on food packaging and organic products including leather and books
• Unpleasant odor – a distinct musty odor when cockroaches present in massive numbers

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

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

The best method to fend off cockroaches is to deny them access to food, water and shelter, which are the main factors that bring them into your house or business.

As cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that like dark, warm, moist hiding locations in cracks, crevices, or difficult-to-attain corners, the first step to eradicating an infestation is doing away with food sources and hiding places, especially since cockroaches only return to habitable places.

With a bit of investigative work, a consistent strategy, and preventative measures, you may create your own home an unattractive place for roaches, so as to not only deal with an infestation but save you from getting it in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are practical steps you can take to reduce the risk of an infestation:

• Eliminate food resources – keep dry foods in tightly sealed boxes or in sealed plastic bags and do not go away with food sitting out in the open place
• Clear all waste food and spillage – clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Drain the rubbish on a daily basis and maintain all waste in covered bins
• Clean up – eliminate old piles of papers and magazines, unused cardboard boxes and each other kind of clutter from the floor or base of pantries that may give a hiding place to cockroaches
• Seal entry points – seal areas such as gaps around door, pipes and cracks to reduce cockroaches hiding place and access into your premises
