Cockroach Pest Control Services in Singapore

The Sneaky Cockroach

Cockroaches are intruders that infiltrate homes and businesses through small openings, drain pipes, and even by hitching a ride on you. They are highly resilient and reproduce rapidly. They thrive in unsanitary conditions and spread germs and bacteria through their legs. Once they establish an infestation, over-the-counter solutions are usually ineffective. In Singapore, there are two types of cockroaches that are most commonly seen: American and German cockroaches. While German cockroaches are smaller, around 1-2 cm, American cockroaches are larger, with sizes between 4-5 cm.

Contact ORIGIN to take care of your cockroach problem and we’ll thoroughly inspect the area and provide you with professional advice on how to keep cockroaches away.

Signs of Cockroach Infestation

  • Droppings: One of the most common signs of a cockroach infestation is the presence of droppings, which resemble coffee grounds or pepper. These droppings vary depending on the species of cockroach.
  • Shed Skin: As cockroaches mature, they shed their skin 4-8 times. Finding these shed skins in your home is a strong indicator of an infestation.
  • Smear Marks: Cockroaches leave irregular, dark smear marks in areas with high moisture, such as on horizontal surfaces or where the walls meet the floor.
  • Egg Casings: Cockroaches lay eggs in capsules known as egg casings, each containing multiple eggs. Discovering egg casings or unhatched eggs in your home suggests an infestation.
  • Odour: Certain cockroach species emit a musty, oily, and unpleasant smell, particularly when they are disturbed or frightened.
  • Damage: Cockroaches can cause property damage by consuming organic materials like food, books, leather, and insulation, often leaving chew marks behind.
  • Live Cockroaches: You may spot live cockroaches scurrying around in moist, damp, and humid places when you turn on the lights at night.

Prevention Tips

  • Clean: Cockroaches get attracted to food residue, dirt, and unclean places. Make sure you keep your house clean and sanitary. Wipe your countertops, floors, and the pantry. Avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink.
  • Seal Entry Points: Cockroaches enter through gaps around doors, windows, and pipes. Seal these entry points.
  • Store Food Properly: Keep your food sealed properly in tight containers. Clean up crumbs and also limit where you eat. Avoid eating in bedrooms and other places.
  • Check water leaks: To keep cockroaches out, check your home for plumbing issues and fix them.
  • Take care of pets: Make sure your pets' food, bedding, blankets, and bowls are properly cleane. Clean the food and water bowls often.
