When to Call a Cockroach Exterminator

Unlike other pests, seeing even one cockroach in your home is cause for concern. These creepy insects are dreaded by nearly all property owners, especially considering the fact that they are so difficult to manage without the help of a professional pest control company.

If you run a business, you know that one customer seeing even one roach can ruin your reputation. And if you’re a homeowner, you’re likely aware of the health hazards that come with an infestation. For these reasons and more, it’s essential to enlist the help of an expert as soon as you see a cockroach in your property.

Signs you have a cockroach problem

If you see one cockroach, chances are you have a lot more in your property. The main indications that you could have a roach infestation are:

1. Check out other dark and damp areas in your home that a cockroach might frequent, such as under sinks or in basements and crawl spaces.
2. If you see adult and young cockroaches alike on your property, you have an infestation.
3. Smelling a foul or musty odor is often a big indication you have multiple cockroaches.
4. Seeing a cockroach exoskeleton or its eggs is, of course, the biggest sign you have a cockroach problem.
