Fall & Winter Cockroach Activity: What Every Homeowner Should Know!

September 25, 2024

As the temperatures drop and we transition into fall and winter, many pests, including cockroaches, start looking for warmth and food inside our homes. Here’s what you should know about their activity during this season:

Why Are Cockroaches Coming Indoors?

1. Seeking Shelter: As outdoor temperatures fall, cockroaches will seek warmth and protection from the cold.
2. Food Sources: They are attracted to food scraps and warm, moist environments, making kitchens and pantries prime targets.

Signs of Infestation:

• Droppings: Small, dark droppings in kitchen areas or along baseboards.
• Egg Cases: Look for dark, oval-shaped egg cases, often found in hidden areas.
• Odor: A musty smell may indicate a larger infestation.

Prevention Tips:

• Seal Entry Points: Check for cracks around windows, doors, and pipes.
• Keep It Clean: Regularly clean kitchens and dining areas to eliminate food sources.
• Store Food Properly: Use airtight containers for pantry items.
