Understanding Cockroaches

What Are Centipedes?

Cockroaches belong to the insect order Blattodea and have existed for millions of years. There are thousands of species worldwide, but in Canada, the most common types that invade homes include the German cockroach, Oriental cockroach, and American cockroach. They are nocturnal insects that prefer warm, humid environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Cockroaches are known for their flattened, oval-shaped bodies, long antennae, and quick movements. Their adaptability allows them to survive in small cracks and crevices, making them difficult to detect and eliminate without professional help.

Why Cockroaches Are a Problem

Even though cockroaches are small, their impact on health and hygiene is significant. They can:

  • Spread bacteria and pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli, which may cause food poisoning or gastrointestinal illnesses.
  • Trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children, due to their shed skins, saliva, and droppings.
  • Contaminate food and surfaces, leaving behind an unpleasant odor and visible droppings.
  • Multiply rapidly, as one female can produce dozens of offspring in a short time.

Because cockroaches are active mostly at night, spotting one during the day often indicates a larger hidden infestation.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Identifying the early signs of a cockroach problem can help you act before it becomes severe. Look out for:

  • Small black droppings resembling coffee grounds or pepper.

  • Egg cases (oothecae) hidden in dark corners, behind appliances, or under sinks.

  • Shed skins or exoskeletons near food sources or warm areas.

  • A musty, oily odor often associated with large infestations.

  • Sightings at night, particularly in kitchens or bathrooms.

 

If you notice these indicators, it’s important to address the issue promptly before the infestation spreads.

How to Prevent Cockroaches

Prevention is always easier than elimination. Here are some effective ways to reduce the risk of a cockroach infestation:

  1. Keep your space clean: Regularly wipe counters, clean up spills, and wash dishes promptly.
  2. Seal entry points: Close gaps around doors, windows, and pipes.
  3. Store food securely: Use sealed containers and avoid leaving pet food out overnight.
  4. Remove clutter: Cockroaches hide in cardboard, paper, and other debris.
  5. Fix moisture problems: Repair leaks and ensure good ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms.

Even with good hygiene, cockroaches can still enter through drains or shared walls in multi-unit buildings, which is why professional control may sometimes be necessary.

Great experience. Loved that the bait isn't easily visible or accessible since we've got little kids and definitely don't want that being something they get into. Had a two-week follow up where the bait was checked and looks like the mouse problem is gone.
