Cockroaches are amongst the most unpleasant pests to deal with, which is why it’s important to make sure any cockroach problem is taken care of as soon as you notice any signs of them in your home. Here are some of the biggest warning signs of a cockroach infestation to look out for.

Warning Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

  • Streaks and smears. Cockroaches leave behind brownish streaks on the surfaces they have climbed. These streaks and smears can be very difficult to clean off, which can help you discern between them and food stains that would be easier to clean. Any difficult-to-clean streaks you notice could be signs of a cockroach infestation, so reach out to us for pest control services if you notice them in your home.
  • Strange odors. A cockroach infestation often comes with an oily or musty smell around your home, so make sure to take note of this smell as a possible warning sign of a cockroach presence in your home, especially if you’ve noticed any dead cockroaches.
  • Shed cockroach skin. Cockroaches shed their skins as they grow. Oftentimes, shed skin will show up around dark and moist areas of the home, so if you’ve noticed an accumulation of shed cockroach skin, you likely have an infestation.
