Got Roaches? How to Know
Personally, I think roaches are one of the worst types of pest infestations that you can have. Even if they are not your most hated pest, I assume you don’t want them around! Having a roach problem can be difficult to identify, but there are a few ways to assist you in knowing whether you have unwanted guests. Having a pest problem is no fun for anyone.
It is very important that you know sooner than later whether you have a problem. Roach problems are much more difficult to identify due to their secluded and hidden lives. This is the first major sign of infestation, if you see roaches during the day then that is a good sign that there are many more and they have been living in your home. This is because roaches are nocturnal, and do much of their running around and feeding while you are asleep.
If you see them during the day then that is a sign that there are many and they are being pushed from the nest. Roaches prefer areas that are moist and dark and that is why they prefer to come out at night. In order to be sure about an infestation and to receive proper roach control, it is crucial and much more beneficial if you hire professionals to do the job for you.

How To Really Know
Since roaches like tiny dark places, a good place to look is behind major appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, sinks, etc. Because of their ability to flatten themselves out, roaches can also be found under and in between very tiny areas such as mats, wallpaper, wall cracks, and floor tiles.
Try taking a look in these places. If these creature did not sound gross enough, they also leave feces around. Roach feces look like coffee ground or black pepper. If a substance like this is found throughout your house then this is another sign of infestation.
These feces can also cause a bad smell in your house, but roaches themselves tend to leave a musty odor. So, if you have experienced one or more of these signs and you have been smelling something abnormally gross recently, then it may be time to give us a call!
