Roach Infestation – Signs, Dangers, and Solutions

Are you spotting unwanted visitors in your home at night? Roaches are more than just a nuisance—they carry bacteria, allergens, and can spread quickly. In this post, we’ll explore how to recognize a roach problem and the risks these pests pose to your health and home.

Signs You Have a Roach Infestation

Roaches are often nocturnal, which makes them difficult to spot during the day. However, there are several telltale signs that indicate you may have a roach problem:

• Seeing live roaches, especially during the day
• Foul, musty odor in infested areas
• Small, black droppings (about the size of coffee grounds)
• Egg casings (oval-shaped, brown) and shed roach skins

Health Risks of Roaches

Roaches aren't just unpleasant to look at—they can also pose serious health risks. These pests are known to carry bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can contaminate food and surfaces. Additionally, roach droppings and shed skins can trigger allergies and worsen asthma symptoms, particularly in children.

How to Handle a Roach Infestation

While maintaining cleanliness and sealing entry points can help prevent roaches, professional pest control is often necessary to fully eliminate an infestation.
