How to Detect a Cockroach Infestation

Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that are good at hiding. This makes them difficult to detect, especially if you don’t know what to look for. However, several signs can indicate you have a problem.

Common signs of a cockroach infestation include:

  • Seeing live cockroaches: Cockroaches are fast and can quickly scuttle out of sight when the lights turn on. If you see live cockroaches during the day, you likely have a large infestation.
  • Finding cockroach feces: Cockroach droppings look like small black specks or coffee grounds. You can usually find their droppings around their hiding spots.
  • Smelling a musty odor: Cockroaches produce a musty odor that worsens as their infestation grows.
  • Finding cockroach egg capsules: Cockroach egg capsules are small, reddish-brown, and oval-shaped. They are usually found in dark, hidden areas.
  • Seeing shed skins: Cockroaches molt as they grow. If you find shed skins, it means their population is growing.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to take action right away. Cockroaches are prolific breeders and can quickly infest your property.
