Why Do Cockroaches Make Noise?
WouterCockroaches make noise for a couple of reasons. The first is to attract a mate. They make noises by fluttering their wings and legs, and rubbing their pronotum together. This is done to attract a female and alert other males to their location.
Some cockroaches make a clicking sound. The sound is a sign of mating or competition, but most cockroaches do not produce a clicking sound. Some cockroaches make the noise accidentally, while flying. Others use it to alert mates or communicate with other cockroaches. In addition, some wild cockroaches vocalize when they feel threatened. The noise is usually louder during the night.
However, cockroaches can make sounds at very low volumes. During the day, they are usually inactive. In the evening, they are most active. These insects can cover a great deal of ground in a short period of time. You might even hear the sounds of a cockroach running.
The noises a cockroach makes are mostly related to mating, and can become more intense when the infestation becomes more serious. If you have noticed any of these behaviors, you should contact your pest control company immediately. Fortunately, cockroaches can be easily silenced by Terminix(r) insecticide.
The amount of noise that a cockroach makes will depend on the size of the infestation and the quality of the construction. Although it’s unlikely that you’ll hear a cockroach scurrying across your home, the sound can be audible to sensitive pets. Depending on the quality of your walls, you might hear the cockroaches in the evening, when their activity is at its peak.
