Should I Call An Exterminator For One Cockroach?

While cockroaches are very common in homes and buildings, one roach does not necessarily indicate that you should call an exterminator. If you find one or more cockroaches in a building, you should first look for feces and droppings. If you notice that they are breeding in a particular area, then it’s time to call an exterminator.

Cockroaches can be dead or live. If you have a live cockroach in your home, you can remove it by hand or call a professional to remove the entire infestation. Cockroaches often leave droppings, which look like dirt and may be found on walls, shelves, and inside cabinets.

Before you call an exterminator, ask them for references. You can use these references to gauge whether a particular company is capable of dealing with your particular problem. You can also check online review sites to see how satisfied previous customers were with their work. The Better Business Bureau also offers consumer information and company statistics.

Another reason to call an exterminator for one cockcock is because cockroaches produce a foul odor and produce brown/black feces. Cockroaches shed their skin seven times their adult size. This means that for every cockroach you see, there are probably 20 more inside your walls.
