Signs You May Have Cockroaches
The first and most obvious sign that you may have a cockroach infestation is that you’ll see these giant brown and black critters skittering around your house. Cockroaches can get to be pretty huge, and their appearance is fairly unmistakable.
The second sign of cockroaches is their excrement. If you’re seeing what looks like coffee grounds or black pepper in areas where it should not be—this is an indication that you could be dealing with cockroaches.
Cockroaches shed their skin, which can be left in some unusual places. If you’re seeing what looks like an insect’s exoskeleton, or some kind of husk—it may be time to call a pest control specialist.
When people find damage to their food boxes, flour bags, and perishables—they often assume it is some kind of rodent. However, it may not be mice or rats at all, and could very well be a cockroach infestation.
Cockroach Removal Process
Cockroaches, while difficult to spot and control by the average homeowner—can be a snap for professionals that know where to look and have the right tools for the job. The most common method of exterminating a cockroach infestation is with Boric Acid. This powder is sprinkled in areas where cockroaches may commonly exist. As the cockroach crawls over the boric acid powder, they become coated in it and perish.
Another common way to get rid of cockroaches is with traps and bait. This is effective, however calling a pest control specialist is always the best course of action. A pest control specialist has the right insecticidal treatment to get rid of the problem long term.
How To Deter Cockroaches
The best way to get rid of cockroaches is to stop the problem before it even starts. That means using tried and true methods of deterring the little critters from making your home their home. One of the best ways to ensure that problem doesn’t befall your home, is to caulk any gaps and seal any entrances so that cockroaches don’t have free movement into, and around your home.
It’s important to spot what could be potential spots for cockroaches to live, and place gel bait traps around the area. In this way, any cockroach that happens to enter your home is met with a tasty treat that will ultimately send them packing.
While we believe the best way to deter cockroach is by calling a pest control specialist, you can also buy boric acid yourself and try sprinkling it around some areas where cockroaches are known to lurk.
