The Dangers Of Cockroaches In Puerto Rico

Cockroaches aren’t just gross to look at—an infestation can be dangerous for several reasons. Multiple roach species carry a range of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They can contaminate any surface they walk across, which often results in food contamination. Cockroaches are also suspected carriers of organisms that cause disease including salmonellosis, cholera, and more.

Roaches are also linked back to allergy attacks in some individuals sensitive to roach allergens. Their droppings, saliva, and skin can release particles into the air that trigger allergies. Due to these dangers, it’s important to always enlist a professional cockroach exterminator for help with infestations.

Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation

Seeing even one cockroach is often a bad sign that there are many more hidden nearby. Besides seeing a cockroach scuttling across your kitchen counter, there are several signs of a roach problem in your property. If you see any of the below signs, it’s time to call a roach exterminator:

1. Foul odors. Some roach species are known to emit a musty, unpleasant odor that lingers and gets more pungent as infestations grow.
2. Egg cases or skins. Ootheca are brown casings that house up to 50 eggs. These can be found before or after the eggs hatch in serious infestations. Roach skins are often seen where cockroaches are taking up shelter.
3. Droppings. Resembling anything from tiny pepper specks to miniature pellets, a large amount of feces is a clear indicator of an infestation.
