Signs You Have a Roach Problem

Roaches are nocturnal and are most active at night. They like to stay hidden during the day and come out at night to feed and look for places to hide. Roaches can fit into spaces as small as a dime, so they can get into tight spaces in your home. Roaches are also known to travel through sewers and come up through drains. Roaches are a problem that must be addressed quickly. If you have noticed any of the following signs, you may have a roach problem:

1. Sightings: The most obvious sign of a roach problem is actually seeing the pests themselves. Roaches are nocturnal creatures, so they tend to emerge at night to scavenge for food and water. If you spot one or more roaches during the day, it could indicate a large population in your home.

2.  Droppings: Roach droppings, also known as frass, are small, dark, and cylindrical in shape. You may find them in areas where roaches congregate, such as kitchen cabinets, drawers, behind appliances, and in dark corners. Their droppings resemble coffee grounds or black pepper.

3. Unpleasant Odor: Roaches produce a distinct musty odor, especially when they infest a particular area. The smell can become more noticeable as the infestation grows. If you detect an unusual, pungent scent in your home, it could be an indication of roach activity.

4. Egg Casings: Roaches lay egg casings, also known as oothecae, which contain multiple eggs. These casings are brown in color and have a purse-like shape. You might find them in hidden areas, like cracks, crevices, and under furniture.

5. Damaged Packaging: Roaches are notorious for chewing through various materials, including cardboard, plastic, and paper, to access food. If you notice packages with holes or gnaw marks, it could be a sign of roaches trying to get to your food supply.

6. Gnaw Marks: Apart from food packaging, roaches may leave gnaw marks on other objects and surfaces in your home. Check for signs of damage on books, fabrics, and electrical wires.

7. Oily Smudges: Roaches leave behind oily residue from their bodies as they crawl around your home. Look for smudges on walls, baseboards, and surfaces, as these marks can indicate their regular paths.

8. Noises: In some cases, you might hear faint rustling or crackling sounds coming from areas where roaches are active. This noise is often more noticeable during the quiet of the night.

9. Hatched Nymphs: As roaches reproduce, they shed their exoskeletons. If you find discarded nymph casings around your home, it suggests a growing infestation.

10. Roach Nests: Roaches seek dark and secluded areas to build their nests. Check for signs of nests in spaces like gaps in walls, behind furniture, and under appliances. The nests may contain roaches at various life stages.
