Cockroaches are incredibly stealthy creatures and can live out of sight within a home for a long time. They are so good at hiding that most homeowners don’t even know they need a cockroach extermination until the infestation has spread throughout their entire home. If you are not sure whether or not you have a cockroach problem, below are a few signs to help you figure it out.

3 Signs You Might Need Cockroach Extermination

1. You’ve Seen Them

Usually, cockroaches like to move about at night or at least stick to the shadows during the daytime. If you happen to see one or more of them hanging out in a sunlit room, chances are you already have an infestation on your hands. They tend to do this when their nests are overcrowded or their food sources are lacking; so they brave the daylight to find new ways of survival.

2. Feces & Carcasses

If you begin to notice these spots on your walls, it is a good indicator you already have a serious problem. Also, if you are noticing droppings, chances are there are some dead cockroach bodies lingering behind your refrigerator, stove, sinks, or even in your cupboards.

3. They Were Already in the Neighborhood

As unfair as it is, some regions are just more suited for cockroaches to live. This means if your home is in a warm and/or humid area already known to have a lot of insects you’ll start to see cockroaches sooner or later. However, knowing they are in your area will help you to take preventative measures and keep a close eye on places where they might be hiding out in your home. This will allow you to call a cockroach extermination company early on and keep their nest from growing.
