How To Tell If You Have A Cockroach Infestation
Because cockroaches reproduce rapidly, if you see a cockroach in your Newnan home, you likely have a cockroach infestation. For example, German cockroaches are the most common species in homes; they create a new generation every 100 days!
While you sleep, cockroaches forage and feed, so you may think you don't have a problem. The following are signs of cockroach infestation that will help you determine the scope of the issue:
Dark droppings resembling pepper
Fecal stains
Musty smell in rooms
Egg capsules
Look for these signs underneath furniture, behind appliances, in corners, around drains, and in dark, humid areas of the home. If you find a cockroach in your house, you likely have an infestation because more are hiding in the shadows.
Why Roaches Are So Dangerous To Your Health
Cockroaches in your Newnan home are filthy insects traveling from food sources to nests. Food sources for cockroaches include garbage, rotting food, pet fecal droppings, and sewage. These sources harbor bacteria, viruses, and parasitic worms. As the roaches feed and walk over these disgusting materials, the spines on their cockroach legs attract the pathogens lying on the surface of these items.
Cockroaches spread 33 different diseases like E. coli and salmonella, six parasitic worms, and seven types of human pathogens. When people contract these infections, they experience nausea, diarrhea, dehydration, cramps, vomiting, and other symptoms. Hospitalization is necessary in some cases.
