Frequent Roach Sightings

If you’re seeing multiple roaches regularly, especially during the day, that’s a strong indicator of a major infestation. Roaches are nocturnal and tend to hide, so daytime activity means their hiding spots may be overcrowded.

Egg Casings or Droppings

Spotting roach droppings (which look like black pepper or coffee grounds) or egg casings around your home is a red flag. These are clear signs that roaches are not just passing through they’re breeding.

Foul Odors

A strong, musty smell can mean a large roach population. The more roaches, the stronger the odor, especially when they die and decompose in hidden areas.

Ineffective DIY Treatments

Tried sprays, traps, or baits and still seeing roaches? DIY methods can be helpful, but they often only address the surface problem. If they’re not working, it’s time to call in the pros.

Health & Safety Concerns

Roaches carry bacteria, trigger allergies, and can contaminate food. If you have young children, elderly family members, or immune-compromised individuals in the home, it’s best to act quickly and get professional help.

While a lone roach may not mean you have a full-blown infestation, frequent sightings, droppings, & odors suggest it’s time to call an exterminator. Acting early can save you time, money, & stress in the long run.
