Roaches are a common pest to find in homes, and spotting one scurrying across your floor at night may not seem like a major deal. However, it may actually be a subtle sign of an infestation, which is why it’s important to investigate. Recognizing the early signs of roach nesting will ensure you schedule the organic pest control services you need to resolve the issue and prevent future problems. Below, learn when it is time to enlist a service to help you get rid of an infestation. 

How to Know When to Call Roach Control Services

1. You See Roaches During the Daytime

Cockroaches aren’t fans of the light and do most of their snacking and breeding at night. When they appear during the day, it means that they’re running out of space in their nest or are forced to continue looking for food during the day. This is a clear sign of infestation. You’ll likely find a few dead roaches in your pantry or behind the fridge that died from exhaustion. Prevent the problem by sealing food in air-tight containers and cleaning your kitchen after every meal.

2. You Find Casings

Baby roaches hatch from thin, brown casings that they’ll leave behind. If you come across these casings, often found in secluded areas like closets, below baseboards, or in basements, it means that roaches are breeding. Their numbers can grow quickly, so contact organic pest control professionals. Roaches also leave feces around the casings, which can pose a significant health issue.

3. You Smell a Foul Odor 

Roaches are unsanitary insects, and when there’s a large group, they’ll create an unsavory smell. This is often a serious sign of infestation. It’s rare that you’ll be able to control the problem with bait, traps, and store-bought roach killers. Organic pest control professionals will use eco-friendly agents and state-of-the-art tools to locate and eliminate roach colonies. They can also help you protect your home by sealing around windows and doors and removing debris piles from your property.
