Identifying Common Household Pests

Recognizing signs of ants, cockroaches, and bedbugs early helps prevent infestations and protects your home.

Identifying pests early helps prevent costly infestations.

Cockroaches are nocturnal insects with flat, oval bodies and long antennae. Look for dark droppings, egg cases, and a musty odor in hidden areas like cabinets and behind appliances.
Ants vary in size and color but often leave visible trails. Signs include small piles of dirt or debris near entry points and damaged wood or plants. Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown, and hide in mattress seams, leaving tiny blood stains or shed skins.
