Signs of cockroaches
- Roaches running when lights come on, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.
- Droppings like black pepper or coffee grounds in drawers and cabinets.
- Brown egg cases behind appliances and under sinks.
- A musty, oily smell in heavy infestations.
What helps right now
- Clean up crumbs and grease; take out trash every night.
- Fix dripping faucets; roaches need water.
- Don't use bug bombs; they spread roaches into walls.
German or American?
Small tan roaches indoors are usually German cockroaches, which multiply fast and need a professional plan. Large reddish-brown ones often come in from drains or outdoors.
