How to Recognize a Cockroach Infestation

Some of the signs of a roach infestation include:

Presence of fecal matter, which will look like coarse black pepper and takes a few minutes to dissolve in water
Shed skins of young roaches as they grow
Strange or unpleasant smells, which come from roaches releasing an oily liquid
Disc-shaped egg capsules, often mistakenly called “bedbug shells”
Live roaches that are active in your cabinets when you flip a switched light on

One reason it can be difficult to get rid of an infestation of roaches is because they hide during the day and come out to eat at night. They most commonly hide in small, dark cracks, crawl spaces, through holes in the wall or foundation, and often lay parallel to these edges, between or behind kitchen countertops, in cupboards, or anywhere it is warm and they have easy access to food. Because they most commonly come out at night, you may mistake an infestation for only one or two roaches until they multiply to the point that you can no longer stop them.

What Are the Most Common Types of Cockroaches Found in Silver Spring, MD?

In Silver Spring, MD, the most common types of cockroaches you’re likely to encounter include:

German Cockroach

Small and light brown with two dark stripes on their backs.
Commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms, attracted to warmth and moisture.
Known for reproducing rapidly, making infestations challenging to control.

American Cockroach

The largest cockroach species in the area, reddish-brown in color.
Often found in basements, sewers, and other damp, dark areas.
They can fly short distances and are known for their speed.

Oriental Cockroach

Shiny black or dark brown, sometimes referred to as "water bugs."
Prefer cool, damp places like basements, crawl spaces, and drains.
Less common indoors but can become a problem in outdoor areas near water sources.

Brown-Banded Cockroach

Do Store-Bought Solutions Work?

Like other pests such as mosquitoes, bed bugs, and rodents, do-it-yourself methods and products are ineffective for cockroaches. Even if products seem to kill off an initial group of them, they will reproduce so quickly that without professional intervention, you will quickly find your home once again overrun. This is because many products are toxic to people and pets and cannot be applied safely to all surfaces and areas of an infestation.

How Often Should I Schedule Pest Control Services to Keep Cockroaches Away?

The frequency of pest control services to prevent cockroach infestations depends on several factors, including the size of your property, the level of infestation risk, and the effectiveness of your preventative measures.

For most homes and businesses in Silver Spring, MD, it’s recommended to schedule pest control services:

Every 3-6 Months for Prevention: Regular pest control treatments can help prevent cockroach infestations and address any early signs before they become severe.
Monthly for Severe Infestations: If you’re dealing with an active cockroach problem, more frequent treatments (typically monthly) may be necessary to eliminate the infestation and break the breeding cycle.
Seasonally in High-Risk Areas: Scheduling pest control services at the start of spring and summer can help protect your property during peak cockroach activity when they are more likely to invade.
As Needed for Recurring Issues: If cockroaches frequently return, a tailored treatment plan with ongoing monitoring might be the best approach.

David and Sons Pest can assess your property and recommend a customized schedule to ensure your home or business remains cockroach-free. Prevention and maintenance are key to long-term success.

Preventing a Reinfestation

At David and Sons Pest, we provide the highest quality treatment to get rid of cockroaches and assist homeowners with taking care of the infestation so it doesn’t come back again.

Some tips and tricks for taking care of your home include:

Keep it clean: Cockroaches are attracted to easy access to food, water, and shelter. Keeping your home clean will help limit what attracts them and make it easy for you to spot an infestation while it is still manageable.
Seal off entrance points: Cockroaches need a way to get in before they can take advantage of a messy house. Sealing off entrance points makes it much harder, or even impossible, for them to make their way in the first place.
Take care of other infestations: Cockroaches will take advantage of easy access to food, water, and a warm place to live. You may notice a cockroach infestation following behind if you have another pest problem, such as fleas or termites.
