Seen Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation?
Cockroaches are an incredibly irritating insect pest that like to enter human habitats in search of food, warmth and shelter. Once inside, they will breed, and as a single female cockroach can have hundreds of young every year, what started as a minor infestation can soon become a significant cockroach problem.
The most obvious sign of cockroaches is seeing live cockroaches in your property. Most cockroaches are easily identifiable, as they are usually over 12mm in length, sometimes up to an inch long, depending on the species.

Cockroach Control FAQs
Is It A Good Idea To Squash Cockroaches?
Stamping on them may be an effective approach to killing cockroaches, but it can cause issues. Cockroaches carry allergens and bacteria that can be spread into the air when they are squashed, potentially causing health problems, triggering an allergic reaction or, in some cases, causing an asthma attack. Dead cockroaches can also leave behind marks that can be difficult to get rid of, so it’s best not to squash them if you notice cockroaches on your property.
Will Sleeping With The Light On Keep Cockroaches Away?
Cockroaches are naturally averse to light, but they can adapt to it. As such, sleeping with the light on is not an effective way to get rid of a cockroach infestation.
Do Cockroaches Bite Humans?
While it is uncommon, cockroaches can bite humans in some cases. This usually happens when you’re asleep, and they will normally bite dry skin on extremities such as hands and feet.
Will Cockroaches Go Away On Their Own?
Unfortunately, once they’ve found damp areas and food sources, cockroaches are unlikely to leave an area of their own accord. DIY cockroach treatments are ineffective, so it’s worth investing in professional cockroach pest control services from Essex Pest Proof.
