Four Signs You Have German Cockroaches in Your NJ Home


German cockroaches may sound exotic, but in fact it’s the most common species of cockroach in the world. Our pest control NJ services are ready to help if you discover these four signs that German cockroaches have invaded your home.

Four Signs of German Cockroach Infestation

1. German cockroaches gravitate toward warm, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. If your home has leaky pipes or poor ventilation, chances are good that German cockroaches will find their way in.

2. Are you noticing a number of small, pepper-like spots on countertops or in drawers? German cockroaches leave a trail of their droppings as they scuttle across various surfaces. You may also discover dark smears of fecal staining around cracks, in corners or across the tops of doors.

3. Does your home have a vaguely unpleasant smell but there’s no sign of mold? German cockroaches secrete a number of pungent chemicals that create an oily, musty odor, especially when there’s a large population.

4. Cockroaches are nocturnal, and they are notorious for their rapid reproduction. When you spot a cockroach during daytime hours, don’t assume it’s an isolated incident. This is a more likely sign that their hiding place has become overcrowded, causing some members to venture out.
