Sign Of Cockroaches

Cockroach droppings are small, dark, and can look like coffee grounds or black pepper. They are often found in areas where cockroaches hide or travel, such as along edges of walls, in cabinets, or under appliances.

Cockroaches lay eggs in cases called oothecae, which are oval-shaped and brownish. These cases are often found in hidden areas like behind appliances, in cracks, or under sinks.

In severe infestations, you might hear scratching or rustling noises, particularly at night, as cockroaches move around in walls or behind appliances.

A strong, oily, or musty odor may indicate a large infestation. This smell comes from the secretions and body oils of the cockroaches.

Cockroaches molt as they grow, leaving behind empty exoskeletons. Finding these skins in hidden areas can indicate that cockroaches are present.

Treatment Methods

Controlling cockroaches typically involves a combination of methods tailored to the extent of the infestation and the specifics of the environment. Here are the primary methods used by India pest control services:

Cockroach sprays, dusts, and gels are used to kill cockroaches on contact or through ingestion. Active ingredients include pyrethroids, boric acid, and neonicotinoids.

These attract cockroaches, which then consume the bait and carry it back to their nests, eventually killing other roaches. Baits often contain insecticides like fipronil or hydramethylnon.

Chemicals that disrupt the development of cockroaches, preventing them from reaching maturity or reproducing.

Sticky traps and interceptor traps are used to capture cockroaches for monitoring and to reduce their population.

Sealing cracks, crevices, and entry points to prevent cockroaches from entering the home or moving between rooms.

Fixing leaks and reducing humidity to remove water sources that cockroaches need to thrive.
