Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation
Droppings: If you notice cockroach droppings in your home, chances are you may have a cockroach problem. Their droppings look like small brown dots, similar to coffee grounds or black pepper.
Odor: In the event of a cockroach infestation, you may notice an unpleasant odor on items the pests have come into contact with.
Smear Marks: In areas that have more moisture, cockroaches will produce brown and irregular shaped smear marks. These marks will appear on horizontal surfaces.
Shed Skins: The cockroaches shed their outer layer, which can be found close by where they are hiding in your home.
Getting Rid Of Troublesome Cockroaches
