Cockroaches in Durham homes
Durham's older homes and wooded neighborhoods along the Eno River are prime territory for squirrels, raccoons and bats looking for shelter. Seeing one roach in daylight often means many more are hiding. German cockroaches live and breed indoors in kitchens and bathrooms, while larger American and smokybrown roaches usually come in from outside. A pest control provider can identify the species and treat where they hide.
Signs of cockroaches
- Roaches scattering when you turn on a light at night
- Droppings that look like pepper or coffee grounds in cabinets and drawers
- Egg cases behind appliances or in cabinet corners
- A musty, oily smell in kitchens or bathrooms
Call a Durham pro if:
- You see roaches more than once
- You see roaches during the day
- You find droppings or egg cases in cabinets
- Store-bought sprays haven't worked
Why it's worth getting help
- Cockroach droppings and shed skins can trigger allergies and asthma, especially in kids.
- Roaches can spread bacteria onto food and surfaces.
- German cockroaches breed very fast indoors, so small problems grow quickly.
What a local provider does
