Signs You Have a Cockroach Problem

When you suspect an infestation, it’s Important to immediately locate it. How? By looking at some apparent 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 – evident of brown skins can be found close to where they are breeding as immature cockroaches shed skins about five (5) to eight (8) 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 organic products including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor – a distinct musty smell when cockroaches present in massive numbers
• Live cockroaches – typically found around restrooms and kitchens

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

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

The most effective way to keep these nuisance pests is to deny them access to food, shelter and water. Without these, they cannot thrive and breed in your home and no infestation will occur.

As cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that such as dark, warm, moist hiding places 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 little detective work, a persistent strategy, and preventative measures, you can make your home an unattractive place for roaches, which will not only manage an infestation but slso keep them in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are effective steps you can go for to decrease the chance of an infestation:

• Get rid of food resources – store dry food in securely sealed containers or in sealed plastic packs and don’t leave food out, in an open space
• Clear all waste food and spillage – smooth up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and house equipment. Empty the rubbish daily and maintain all waste in bins that are protected
• Declutter – remove old piles of magazines and papers, unused cardboard boxes and all other kinds of clutter in the floor or bottom of cupboards that may offer a hiding place for cockroaches
• Seal entry points – seal places such as gaps around door, pipes and cracks to reduce cockroaches hiding place and access in your premises
