How To Tell If Your Nassau County Home Has A Cockroach Problem
Do you think you might have a cockroach problem? It is possible for your home to be filled with roaches and for you not to see a single roach. There are several reasons for this. Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that prefer to be active at night. But, even at night, they tend to stay hidden from view. And when you flick a light switch on, roaches have the ability to hide quickly. They can squish their bodies and quickly squeeze into very tight spaces and gaps. A roach can also run across a table at full speed, go over the side, and hide underneath without slowing down. All of this makes it difficult to detect cockroaches when they first get into Nassau County homes.

How To Perform A Cockroach Inspection
If you have cockroaches inside your home, there are a few things they will do. They'll leave their excrement on surfaces, they'll shed their exoskeletons, and they'll create egg pouches. If you know what these look like and where to look for them, you can determine for sure that your home has cockroaches.
- The excrement of cockroaches is black and sticky. Small roaches will leave fecal matter that looks like black pepper. American cockroaches leave larger feces that are sometimes mistaken for mouse droppings. You'll find this waste matter in concealed spaces within secluded locations. Search dark, humid areas first.
- The exoskeletons of cockroaches are pale, tan, or brown, depending on the age of the roach. You'll find these in tight and compressed spaces.
- The egg pouches (ootheca) of cockroaches look like little pouches. They are dark brown or a dark reddish-brown. You may find them intact, or you may only find the hollow husks. If you find husks that are an orangish color, those are the oothecae of German cockroaches, the worst structure-infesting pests in the world.
