Cockroach Control

Cockroaches are known to spread over 33 kinds of bacteria, 6 kinds of parasitic worms and at least 7 kinds of human pathogens. Their mere presence in your premises could be the root cause of numerous health problems.

Cockroaches leave behind signs of their presence that are easy to spot before you are likely to see a live insect. As nocturnal creatures, cockroaches usually hide out of sight during the day and only become active at night to search for food.

Signs of cockroaches

Here are some simple ways you can identify a cockroach infestation:

Cockroach droppings

Cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings that look like ground coffee. They are less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths.

Egg capsules

Cockroaches lay eggs in a capsule, called an ootheca, containing multiple eggs. The ootheca is distinctive for each species of cockroach. Most species of cockroach drop the ootheca immediately, but the German cockroach carries it until just before hatching, when it releases around 30 tiny nymphs.

The ootheca of the German cockroach has about 18 segments, the brown banded cockroach about 8 segments and the oriental, American, Australian, smoky brown cockroaches have no clear segmentation, but have circular or oval raised areas just below the keel (as seen in the photo)

Shed skin

Cockroaches shed their skins 5-8 times as they mature through the nymph stages to adults and grow in size. Look for these skins of varying sizes in locations you suspect they are sheltering.

Damage

Look for unusual signs of damage, not just on food packaging. Cockroaches will attack organic goods including leather and books.

Unusual odour

Cockroaches defecate where they live and sleep, producing a pheromone that attracts other cockroaches to congregate there. To us humans it creates a lingering and unpleasant musty smell that taints items and surfaces they come into contact with and becomes more intense as an infestation grows.

Live cockroaches

You might see cockroaches when turning on a light at night. German cockroaches need warmth and humidity and may be found around bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchen areas. They are also good climbers, scaling smooth surfaces like glass & polished metal with ease due to sticky pads on their feet. Oriental cockroaches can cope with cooler, damp conditions and can be found in basements or drains. Although not as agile as German cockroaches, they can climb a surface such as rough brickwork.

Cockroaches have adapted to being near and living with humans, and their robustness is appreciable.
