How to Identify a Cockroach Problem with BiteGuard

Cockroaches are one of the most unwanted pests to have around your home, and they can be tricky to spot. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, but all of them are unwelcome guests in your space. Typically, they have oval-shaped bodies and range in size from ½” to 2″ in length, depending on the species.

You may not always see the cockroaches themselves, but there are several signs that can indicate an infestation:

• Egg cases: Cockroach egg cases, or oothecae, are often found in hidden areas like under appliances, inside cabinets, or behind furniture.

• Live roaches: Spotting even one cockroach during the day can be a sign of a larger infestation, as they tend to be nocturnal.

• Shed skins: As cockroaches grow, they molt several times, leaving behind their shed skins, which can be found in dark corners or near their hiding spots.

• Foul odor: A musty or oily smell in kitchens, bathrooms, or other dark spaces can indicate cockroach activity.
