Cockroaches in Canada
The two most common cockroaches in Canada are the German cockroach and the Oriental cockroach. Both are nocturnal so a daylight sighting means a possibly heavy infestation. Although the German cockroach can just about fly they both are really just fast runners.
The smell associated with cockroaches is from their pheromone they use to communicate with other cockroaches to let them know they have found a source of food.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation to
Watch For
Cockroaches are nocturnal pests, often hiding during the day—so spotting them usually means the problem is already serious.
1. Live or Dead Cockroaches
Seeing cockroaches when you turn on a light at night or open a dark cupboard is a strong sign of infestation. Even finding dead cockroaches suggests others are hiding nearby.
2. Egg Cases and Droppings
Look for oval-shaped egg cases in hidden areas like behind furniture, inside cupboards, or under appliances. Cockroach droppings, which resemble black pepper, are another common sign.
3. Unusual Odours
A musty or oily smell with no clear source can also indicate cockroach activity.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act fast. RapidKill Pest Control provides expert cockroach removal to keep your home safe and sanitary.
Cockroaches Prevention and After Care
- The best advice is to be meticulously clean to ensure there is no food accessible for the cockroaches. Keep counters, floors, cookers and tabletops spotless. Clean spills immediately.
- Always remove pet food, water bowls and litter trays before nightfall so that no food is available for the roaches.
- Vacuum clean and wash floors and carpets regularly to remove dust and other detritus.
- Store all food securely in airtight containers – glass, metal and plastic are all good materials.
- Make sure your plumbing is in good shape. Dripping taps, damp sinks or small leaks provide a good water source for cockroaches.
- Keep your outdoor areas clean and tidy too. Watch out for food and other waste that could provide a food or living space. Clutter not only provides hiding and living spaces but can also allow cockroaches a chance to spread their pheromones. This indicates to other cockroaches that they have found a place to hide and breed.
- When disposing of bottles, cans and plastics rinse them out to remove further food sources.
- Make sure to cover all household waste containers including bins and compost heaps to prevent access.
