Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

Here are a few tell-tale signs that indicate cockroach presence in your premises:

• Droppings – 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 plentiful, brown and irregular smear marks will appear on horizontal surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Reduce skin – apparent of brownish skins can be discovered near where they are breeding as immature cockroaches drop skins around five (5) to eight (8) times when they develop to adult
• Egg cases – appear as small dark brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – look for signs of damage on food packaging and organic goods including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor – a different musty smell when cockroaches present in large numbers
• Live cockroaches – usually found around bathrooms and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Any property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. Especially if the property has a lot of factors where cockroaches are attracted to. They are easy to spot on assumptions with cracks, crevices, and their infestation can disperse over vents, sewers and pipe drain

The very best way to keep these nuisance pests is to deny them access to food, water and shelter. Without these, it is not possible for them to thrive and breed in your house and no infestation will occur.

Unlike some of the other insects, cockroaches are a year-round problem. Practicing preventative measures can help reduce an infestation, but various treatments may be necessary to eliminate one. Some applications are not effective when done improperly.

With a bit of investigative work, a consistent strategy, and preventative measures, you may make your own home an unattractive area for roaches, in order 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 chance of an infestation:

• Eliminate food resources — 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 – smooth up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and home equipment. Drain the rubbish daily and maintain all waste in bins that are protected
• Declutter – throw off old stacks of newspapers and magazines, unused cardboard packing containers and all various varieties of clutter from the ground or bottom of cabinets that may provide a hiding place for cockroaches
• Seal entry points – seal areas such as gaps around door, cracks and pipes to reduce cockroaches hiding place and access in your premises
