Cockroaches are attracted to food, moisture, and warmth. They often enter homes in search of water, food crumbs, and shelter in warm, dark areas.

Signs of a cockroach infestation include seeing cockroaches (especially at night), finding droppings, and noticing a musty odor. Shed skins and egg cases are also common indicators.

Yes, cockroaches carry bacteria, allergens, and pathogens that can trigger allergies, asthma, and spread diseases, making them a serious health concern.

Effective cockroach control involves sanitation, sealing entry points, and using bait stations, sprays, or professional pest control services for thorough elimination.

To prevent cockroaches, maintain a clean environment, seal cracks and gaps, reduce moisture, and store food in sealed containers.

Cockroach droppings resemble small black or brown specks, similar to coffee grounds or pepper, often found in corners or near food sources.

Cockroaches are nocturnal and prefer darkness, making nighttime the ideal time for them to forage for food and water undisturbed.

Cockroaches can live without food for up to a month but only survive a week without water, making moisture a critical factor in controlling infestations.

Depending on the infestation size and treatment used, cockroach control can take from a few days to several weeks for full elimination.

Cockroaches are more active in warm weather, so infestations often worsen in spring and summer, though they can survive indoors year-round.

Effective treatments include bait stations, insect growth regulators (IGRs), insecticides, and professional pest control to target both adult roaches and their eggs.
