• Smear marks – in which water is abundant, brown and irregular shaped smear marks will appear on horizontal surfaces and wall floor junctions
• Shed skin – apparent of brownish skins can be found near where they’re breeding as immature cockroaches drop skins around five (5) to eight (8) times when they grow to adult
• Egg instances – appear as small dark brown oval-shaped casings
• Damage – look for signs of damage on food packaging and organic products including books and leather

How To Get Rid of Cockroaches

Any property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. Especially if the property has lots of factors where cockroaches are attracted to. They are easy to spot on premises with cracks, crevices, and their infestation may disperse over vents, sewers and pipe drain

The very best way to keep these nuisance pests is to deny them access to food, shelter and water. Without these, it is not possible for them to thrive and breed in your home and no infestation will occur.

As cockroaches are nocturnal creatures that love dark, warm, moist hiding places in cracks, crevices, or hard-to-reach corners, the first step to eradicating an infestation is removing food sources and hiding places, especially because cockroaches only return to habitable places.

With a little detective work, a persistent strategy, and preventative measures, you can make your house an unattractive place for roaches, which will not only handle an infestation but slso prevent them in the future.

Reduce The Risk of a Cockroach Infestation

Here are viable steps you could take to decrease the danger of an infestation:

• Get rid of food resources – store dry food in securely sealed containers or in sealed plastic packs and don’t leave food out, in an open space
• Clear all waste food and spillage – clean up food debris from food preparation areas, under sinks and appliances. Empty the garbage regularly and keep all waste in secured bins
• Clean up – eliminate old piles of papers and magazines, unused cardboard boxes and each other form of clutter from the floor or base of pantries that may provide a hiding place to cockroaches
• Seal entry points – seal areas such as gaps around door, cracks and pipes to reduce cockroaches hiding place and access into your premises
