Common Cockroaches in Fair Haven

Cockroaches have flat, oval-shaped bodies, six legs and distinctively long antennae. There are thousands of cockroach species worldwide, but only a couple cause issues in Fair Haven. In fact, an infestation here is almost always caused by one of three common species:

• German cockroaches: These small light-brown or tan cockroaches have two dark stripes on their backs and are the most common. They typically infest kitchens and bathrooms.
• American cockroaches: These larger pests grow up to 2 inches and are a reddish-brown color. They have a yellow pattern behind their heads and prefer dark, damp areas like basements.
• Oriental cockroaches: A 1-inch smooth and shiny insect that doesn’t fly. They prefer drains, crawl spaces, and other wet, dark places.

Identifying a Cockroach Infestation

Worried about a cockroach infestation? It’s time to call for a cockroach exterminator in Fair Haven if you notice:

• Egg capsules, which look like little brown or red pills, often glued in dark places.
• Chewed-up areas on papers, food or other organic materials.
• Droppings, which can look like coffee grounds, tiny brown pellets or brown smears depending on insect size and access to water.
• Musty odors caused by oils and droppings building up.
• Live bugs, especially in dark, hidden areas like under your appliances or cabinets.

How Cockroaches Infest Properties in Fair Haven

Cockroaches are opportunistic, and they often enter homes or businesses through gaps in the wall. Sometimes, they can hitch a ride on a box or sneak through piping and ventilation. If you share walls with another home or business, an infestation in their property increases the likelihood you’ll battle it too.

Preventing Cockroach Infestations

Cockroaches seek out food, water and shelter, so if you eliminate easy sources, they’re not likely to infest your property. We recommend these simple maintenance steps to make your property less attractive:

• Maintain a clean home.
• Remove potential food sources like crumbs, leftovers, and open food containers.
• Don’t leave pet food sitting out after mealtime.
• Remove trash frequently and put it in a sealed bin outdoors.
• Remove all standing water.
• Fix water leaks indoors and outside promptly.
• Keep faucet screens and drain stoppers secured to prevent pipe access.
• Invest in routine cockroach control treatments.
