How to Identify a Cockroach Infestation

There are very many different types of cockroach species. Only a few cockroach species are considered to be pests.

Cockroach Eggs

Most U.S. species of roach produces oothecae (egg casings) with up to twenty eggs. Casings are sometimes spotted in books, furniture, and cracks in the wall. However, the German roach carries the oothecae as it travels. This pest, the most common of U.S. roaches, remains in physical contact with the oothecae until after the eggs hatch and may produce as many as fifty eggs within a single ootheca.

Spotting Roach Feces

Cockroaches tend to leave lots of visible droppings. Cockroach feces often resemble oval pellets, specks of pepper, brown stains, and coffee grounds.

Cockroach Odor

Cockroaches often produce an oily, musty scent that worsens according to the size of the infestation.
