Egg Deposits – Cockroaches deposit egg cases in obscure, shadowy areas within your residence or workplace.
Unpleasant Odor – With the growth of cockroach populations comes an increasingly pungent smell, gradually becoming more discernible.

Frequently Common Questions of Cockroaches
Do Cockroaches Bite
Cockroaches are known as omnivores and consume both plants and meat. Instances have been documented where they’ve consumed human tissue, typically targeting fingernails, eyelashes, fingers, and toes. However, their tendency to bite living humans is exceedingly rare; such occurrences are primarily associated with cadavers. If they were to bite you or your family, it would likely signal a severe infestation with a substantial population.
Are Cockroaches Dangerous Around Humans
Cockroaches are a big threat towards humans and belongings. Cockroaches spreads diseases like E. coli and Salmonella. Additionally, their shedding skin and droppings can induce allergies in susceptible individuals making them harmful to humans and other beings.
Will Cockroaches Leave on Their Own?
Cockroaches are drawn to leaky pipes, food remnants, and grease, making untidy residential and commercial spaces their preferred habitats. Renowned for their resilience, some even speculate they would outlast other creatures in a nuclear catastrophe. Moreover, they reproduce efficiently, adding to the challenge of eradication, even after addressing the initial attractants.
