Common Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Cockroach infestations can be a distressing problem for homeowners in Houston. These resilient pests can quickly multiply and pose risks to both health and property. Recognizing the signs of a cockroach infestation is crucial for taking prompt action and preventing further infestation. 

Common Signs of Cockroach Infestation in Houston

  • Presence of live cockroaches: Spotting live cockroaches, especially during daytime, is a clear indication of an infestation.
  • Droppings: Cockroach droppings resemble black pepper or coffee grounds and are often found in areas where they frequent, such as kitchen cabinets, drawers, or behind appliances.
  • Foul odor: Cockroaches emit a distinctive musty or oily odor, which can become noticeable in severe infestations.
  • Egg casings: Cockroach egg casings, known as ootheca, are brown, cylindrical capsules that contain multiple eggs. These casings can be found in hidden, dark areas like cracks and crevices.
  • Shed skin: As cockroaches grow, they shed their exoskeletons. Finding these discarded skins around your home is a sign of an infestation.
  • Smear marks: Cockroaches produce dark, irregular smears on walls, floors, or surfaces they frequently travel across.
  • Damage to food packaging: Cockroaches may chew through food packaging, leaving behind noticeable holes or damage.

If you notice one or more of these signs in your Houston home, it is important to take immediate action. Contacting a professional pest control service specializing in cockroach eradication can help ensure effective treatment and provide guidance on preventive measures. Addressing a cockroach infestation promptly can help protect your family's health and preserve the integrity of your home.
