Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

  • Sightings of live roaches, especially at night: often visible in kitchens or bathrooms, signal an active infestation.
  • Dark, pepper-like droppings or egg cases (oothecae): found in hidden areas like cupboards or wall cracks.
  • Unpleasant, musty odour that worsens in damp or dark areas, common in sustained infestations.
  • Cast skins and molted exoskeletons accumulating in corners, these are allergenic and can worsen asthma symptoms.
  • Frequent sightings during daytime: indicative of overcrowding, as roaches emerge when forced from hiding.
  • Food contamination or fecal marks near food sources: cockroaches are notorious carriers of Salmonella, E. coli, and other pathogens.

How CID Pest Control Handles Cockroach Infestations

  • Comprehensive Inspection & Species Identification: We locate harbourages, determine species (e.g., German, Oriental, brown-banded), and assess severity.
  • Targeted Gel & Bait Treatments: Slow-acting baits exploit cockroaches’ cannibalistic nature to clean the nest from within.
  • Dust & Residual Applications: Dusts reach inaccessible voids; residual sprays treat areas on the periphery to intercept migrating individuals.
  • Sanitation & Prevention Advice: Removal of food and moisture sources, routine cleaning, seal gaps around doors, windows, and pipes.
  • Monitoring with Sticky Traps: Strategically placed traps help gauge infestation severity; they’re for monitoring only, not control.

Technicians use an integrated approach, survey, targeted gel baits, dust/sprays, sanitation, and monitoring, for long-term control and prevention.

Control timelines vary. Some treatments show results in days; full clearance, including eliminating hatching eggs, typically takes a few weeks with follow-up visits.

Yes. Especially German cockroaches are highly adaptive and have developed resistance to many common pesticides. Professional-grade strategies are essential.

Maintain cleanliness, seal cracks, fix leaks, store food in airtight containers, and inspect furniture or boxes before bringing them inside.
