How To Know You Have a Roach Problem

In addition to being a bit creepy looking and gross, roaches in your home are a cause for concern because of a number of diseases they are capable of carrying. Here are some ways to tell if you have a roach problem so that you can get the problem taken care of early.

  Droppings  Fecal droppings can be found if the infestation is

large enough. They may not be completely noticeable at first, as they are small and may look like pepper or ground coffee. It is important to note where you see the droppings so that they are easier to target later.

Egg Casings  Another sign is egg casings, containing many eggs.

Even one casing means you have a small infestation. They will have a long rounded shape and be brownish in color.

  Odor  An oily or musky smell may be an indicator of

roaches, and if you have enough roaches to smell bad, you have a bad infestation, as it usually takes a large number to produce a smell.

Dead Roaches  Dead roaches are a pretty easy giveaway. Check

under sinks, in cabinets and anywhere else where there could be traces of food.
