Signs of a Cockroach Infestation in Your Home

Cockroach infestations in Perth homes are more common than many people realize. While seeing one or two cockroaches outside is not a big issue, a full-blown colony inside your home can be harmful and unhygienic. Spotting the signs early can save your home and health from serious problems.

1. Sightings of Live Cockroaches
Cockroaches are nocturnal, so seeing them during the day is a clear sign of a large infestation. They often hide in kitchens, bathrooms, and cupboards but may come out when food is scarce.

2. Droppings and Fecal Spots
Cockroach droppings look like small black specks or pellets. You may find them near food storage areas, behind appliances, or along baseboards. These indicate that cockroaches are actively living and breeding in your home.

3. Unpleasant Odor
A strong, musty, oily smell can be noticed in rooms with heavy infestations. Cockroaches release pheromones, creating a distinct odor when populations grow large.

4. Egg Cases and Shed Skins
Cockroaches lay egg cases (oothecae) and shed their skins as they grow. Finding these in cracks, behind furniture, or inside cupboards indicates an ongoing infestation.

5. Damage to Food or Packaging
Cockroaches are scavengers and will chew through food packaging, cardboard, or even paper products. Torn packages or contaminated food are a warning sign.

6. Increased Activity at Night
If you notice cockroaches scurrying around at night, especially near sinks, drains, or garbage areas, your home likely has an infestation.

What To Do Next
Do not try to handle a large infestation yourself. Professional help is safer and more effective. Cockroach Pest Control Perth has the tools, knowledge, and safe methods to remove cockroach colonies and prevent future infestations.
