Why One Roach Might Mean More

Roaches Are Nocturnal  & Hiding

Cockroaches are secretive creatures that mostly come out at night. If you spot one during the day, it’s often because their hiding spaces are overcrowded, a strong hint of an infestation.

They Reproduce Quickly

One roach can become hundreds in just a few months. Female roaches can lay dozens of eggs at once, making it easy for a small problem to grow rapidly.

Where There’s One, There’s Usually More

Roaches tend to live in groups. If one found its way into your home, others could be hiding nearby, under sinks, behind appliances, or inside walls.

What to Do If You See One Roach:

• Inspect your home for signs; droppings, egg cases, or shed skins.

• Clean thoroughly, especially the kitchen and bathroom.

• Seal up cracks & entry points.

• Use baits or traps to detect and control activity.

• Call a professional if you suspect a larger problem.

Seeing one cockroach doesn’t always mean you’re infested, but it’s often a strong indicator that more could be hiding nearby. Taking immediate action can prevent a small issue from becoming a major infestation.
