How to Know if You Have Cockroach Infestations at Hand
Whether you're a home or business owner, it's important to know when you have a cockroach infestation at hand, because if left unchecked they can do thousands of dollars worth of damage to your valuables and property. Some of the most common signs of cockroach infestation include the following:
-
Cockroach Droppings:
If you notice cockroach droppings on your furniture or the floor, you know you have a cockroach problem at hand. They look like grounded coffee but black in color.
-

Cockroach Exoskeleton Shed Skin
Cockroaches tend to shed their exoskeleton skin in the final stage of their life cycle to grow wings. If you see a transparent husk that looks like a cockroach lying around the house you can be sure that not only do you have a cockroach infestation, but a bad one to boot.
-
Cockroach Eggs
If you notice cockroach eggs between the corners and crevices of furniture or behind trunks and shelves, it's a sure sign of roach infestation.

Foul Smell and Smear Marks
When cockroaches get accustomed to their surroundings they tend to select a designated route to travel around on foot. As a result of frequent traveling, certain parts of your walls, doors, floor, and furniture developed smear marks that look like small random dots. There will be a foul smell in the infested areas as well, old mattresses and couches being their favorite nesting grounds.
Common Cockroach Species in Toronto
The region of Toronto is vast in size and as such is home to a variety of cockroach species such as German cockroaches, oriental cockroaches, brown-banded cockroaches, and many others. Brown-banded cockroaches tend to stay in warm enclosed areas like cabinets, wardrobes, and other wooden furniture. They usually come out at night, so spotting them can be a bit difficult if they tend to come out after you sleep.
The Oriental cockroach is the most common outdoor cockroach species in Canada and can literally make nests anywhere that is moist and damp outdoors. You'll usually find them in the backyard or garden where there are bushes, sewage pipes, mush, and other damp environments to lay their eggs. They look the same as brown-banded cockroaches but tend to be larger.
The American cockroach loves the interiors of your home, especially basements, bathrooms, and kitchens. Like their cousin oriental cockroaches, these cockroaches also tend to favor moist and damp areas for nesting.
