Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation
Common signs of a cockroach problem include:
- Sightings: Seeing a cockroach is common because, unlike other insect pests, such as ants, fleas or bed bugs, cockroaches are large. Although cockroaches are nocturnal, you may see them during the day, along with other indicators of a cockroach problem.
- Cockroach Droppings: Droppings from an adult cockroach are small and black, and look like spilled coffee grounds. Cockroach droppings are usually found near food sources, such as kitchen cupboards or pantries.
- Shed Skins: Cockroaches shed their skins multiple times as they mature, so you might see shed skins throughout your home. These light casings look like inanimate white roaches.
- Cockroach Eggs: A cockroach egg looks similar to the insect’s droppings, being small and dark brown in colour. The main difference is that cockroach eggs have small ridges on the side.
- A Musty Smell: Major cockroach infestations can cause an unpleasant musty smell in your home, caused by the oleic acid they use to communicate with each other.
If you notice these or other signs of cockroach activity or another pest, then you need professional pest control. Contact us today for fast, effective cockroach removal in and around Milton Keynes.
