Clear Signs Of Cockroaches In Your Home

  • Droppings. Roaches tend to foul their environment. Roach droppings, especially around food sources, indicate that you may have a roach infestation.
  • Egg cases. Roaches deposit egg cases that look like dark brown ovals. Egg cases in your home mean roaches in your home.
  • Stains on walls and ceilings. Roaches can leave droppings on walls and ceilings that look like dark brown stains, indicating roaches.

Why It's Dangerous To Have Roaches In Your Home

The cockroaches in your home are not just bothersome; they can also bring diseases into your home. The reason for this is that there is nothing too nasty or dirty to keep roaches from wanting to explore it. They crawl all over garbage and sewage and can pick up things like E. coli, salmonella, listeria, and campylobacter. If they enter your house afterward, they can spread these things onto your counters, food, dinnerware, and cabinets. You can come into contact with these things later, simply by living in your home.

Taking a risk with your health is a bad idea. A good idea is to call Prosite to help you take care of roaches and keep them away.
