How to Identify Cockroaches
Cockroaches often enter homes and businesses through infested packages, deliveries, or luggage. They are especially attracted to paper and cardboard materials, making shipping boxes a common source. Even with careful inspection, their egg capsules (oothecae) can go unnoticed—leading to a full infestation before you realize it.
In multi-unit buildings, cockroaches can easily spread through wall voids, plumbing lines, electrical conduits, and gaps under doors. Without a proper treatment strategy, re-infestation is very common.
Cockroaches are widespread across New York and New Jersey, with multiple species frequently found in both residential and commercial properties—sometimes at the same time.
Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Recognizing the early signs can help you act before the problem escalates:
- Live cockroaches, especially at night
- Small, dark droppings resembling pepper or coffee grounds
- A strong, musty odor
- Egg casings (small, oval-shaped capsules) in hidden areas
Cockroaches typically have flat, oval-shaped bodies with long antennae. Some species prefer warm, humid environments (like kitchens and bathrooms), while others hide in cooler, drier spaces.
They are nocturnal—so if you see one during the day, it often indicates a larger, established infestation.
