Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Common signs of a cockroach infestation include:


  • Sightings Of Cockroaches: Seeing live or dead cockroaches in your home or building is a clear indication of an infestation.
  • Droppings: Cockroaches leave behind small, dark droppings that resemble coffee grounds or black pepper, which can be found in areas where cockroaches are active.
  • Egg Casings: Cockroaches lay their eggs in small, brown casings that are about the size of a grain of rice. These can be found in hidden areas, such as behind appliances or in cabinets.
  • Smell: A musty, oily odour may be present in areas where cockroaches are active.
  • Damage: Cockroaches can cause damage to food packaging, wallpaper and books.
  • Stains: The excrement and dead bodies of cockroaches can leave dark stains on walls, ceilings or other surfaces.


A cockroach infestation can be hard to detect in the early stages and can cause damage to your home if left unchecked. This is why it’s vital to undergo regular inspections and to act quickly if you notice any of the above signs. Don’t delay—call Termites Gone today!

Preventative Measures You Can Take Now

Termites Gone offers cockroach control services in the event where your home is overrun by these pests. There are methods for preventing infestations that you can take now to hopefully avoid an unpleasant situation entirely, such as:


  • Sanitation: Keeping your home or building clean and free of food debris is the first step in preventing cockroaches. This includes regularly cleaning the kitchen and dining areas, sweeping and vacuuming floors and properly storing food.
  • Sealing Entry Points: Cockroaches can enter a building through small cracks and crevices, so it’s important to seal any gaps or cracks around windows, doors and pipes to prevent them from entering.
  • Properly Storing Food: Keep food in sealed containers and promptly clean spills or crumbs.
  • Correctly Disposing of Trash: Keep trash in sealed rubbish bins and empty these regularly to prevent cockroaches from being attracted to the smell.
  • Pest-Proofing: Apply screens to your windows and vents, and make sure that door sweeps are in good condition to prevent creepy-crawlies from entering the building.
  • Maintain a Dry Environment: Cockroaches need moisture to survive, so try to keep the humidity levels low by fixing leaks, using a dehumidifier and keeping the kitchen and bathroom dry.
  • Regular Inspections: Regularly inspect the premises for signs of cockroaches, such as droppings, egg casings and live or dead cockroaches.
  • Professional Pest Control: Consider hiring a professional pest control service to inspect your home or building and provide recommendations for cockroach prevention and control.

What to Do Before & After an Inspection or Treatment

If you’ve booked a pest inspection or treatment, here are a few ways to get the most out of your service: 


  • Before: If possible, move furniture and loose items away from the walls so our technicians can access the skirtings around your home.
  • After: Wait 48 hours after a treatment before cleaning—including vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and dusting—to allow treatments to settle. We also recommend annual inspections for ongoing maintenance to help protect your home from a pest infestation.
