If you suspect a problem in your home or business there are some simple ways to tell if have cockroaches.

COCKROACHES INFESTATION SIGNS:

Some common signs that can help you to identify a possible cockroach infestation.

  • Unusual smell – An established cockroach infestation produces a lingering and unpleasant odour that taints items they contact.
  • Cockroach droppings – If little water is available cockroaches will produce brown/black cylindrical droppings, approx. 2mm long.
  • Smear marks – If water is abundant cockroaches will produce brown and irregular shaped smear marks. Check for marks on horizontal surfaces and at wall-floor junctions where cockroaches scuttle along.
  • Shed skins – Cockroaches shed ‘cast nymphal’ skins 5-8 times as they mature to adults. These shed skins are usually found close to where the cockroaches are sheltering.
