Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

If you see one cockroach, there are likely many more hidden nearby.

Live or dead cockroaches (especially at night)

Egg cases (oothecae) in cracks or behind furniture

Small black droppings, similar to ground pepper

Smear marks along baseboards or countertops

Musty or oily odours in corners or under sinks

DANGERS Without professional fumigation, colonies can survive

What Makes Cockroaches So Dangerous?

Cockroaches can carry bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and listeria, contaminating surfaces, food and utensils. Their droppings can trigger allergic reactions and asthma—especially in children.
Common types in Marbella include:

  • German cockroach (Blattella germanica) – fast-spreading, often in kitchens
  • American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) – large, prefers warm and humid places
  • Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis) – thrives in damp basements and drainage systems

Without professional fumigation, colonies can survive behind walls, under appliances or inside pipes.

EU-approved insecticides
