Hi Niah, I have been dealing with a roach problem for a while and I have started to use an insecticide. How will I know if the roaches are dying?
Hello, you'll notice a couple of signs if the roaches are dying. One common sign is that the roaches become much slower and have difficulty moving around. This is a direct effect from ingestion or contact with the insecticide.
Are there any other ways to tell if they are dying?
Yes, another indication that roaches are dying is if you start finding them on their backs. A healthy roach is usually able to right itself, while a poisoned one often can't due to weakened muscles and altered neurological functioning.
What about their behavior, will there be any change there?
Absolutely, you might notice a change in their behavior too. The poison affects their nervous system, causing them to act erratically. This often involves unusual amounts of activity in the daylight, as roaches are naturally nocturnal creatures.
