If you find a cockroach in ur house, is it likely to find more?

Question

If you find a cockroach in ur house, is it likely to find more?

Answer 1

It really depends on a LOT of variables. I found one cockroach in my house once, but never saw any others. If you have crumbs lying around the floor, food open, cracks in the walls, then you may have the perfect habitat for these creatures. Either it just got lost and found your house, or it found your house and said "Hey, this is a nice place" and called its friends. Do some investigating at night with a flashlight as that is when they are most likely to come out to forage. If you are still unsure, might I suggest a cockroach motel?

Answer 2

Yes and no, but what kind? the little ones are the ones to be scared of, or the huge water bugs about one inch those come from out side.

Answer 3

They are probably going to crawl in your ear tonight and lay eggs.  You probably have a bunch of pigs living around you, or you need to clean up some.

Answer 4

I would think so, they live in communities. Good luck with that!

Answer 5

Yes, more than likely. They live in between the walls/ floorboards/ behind fireplace.  

Answer 6

when you find a cockroach in ur house it is likely that their is more. and if you just let the problem go you can get water bugs rats ect. the best thing to do is call a exterminator and have your house inspected.

Answer 7

YEA AND YOU MIGHT BE A SLOB CLEAN UP A LITTLE SPRAY SOME INSECT KILLER AROUND THE PLACE LIKE AT THE DOOR AND UNDER THE STOVE

Answer 8

when a cockroach's is in your house its because the weather is cold or hot so its trying to find a cold or warm places....

or when a wet towel or clothes is laying on the floor it gets attracted to the smell..

Answer 9

i beleive their like rats, if you see one, theres many you just didnt see.

*sudder* so glad i have a bright apartment that so far seems to be cockroach free

Answer 10

No. I don't know anything about cockroaches but I know I am a clean freak who keeps a clean house so it wouldnt really be possible for there to even be one cockroach in my house.

Edit:

Oh I am sorry I guess I am not any help at all. I thought I was answering a question in the Polls and Surveys section and now I realize that you were not really asking about me but you want to know if it is likely to find more. I don't know I would assume so but like said before I don't know anything about cockroaches.

Answer 11

There is no such thing as one cockroach. They are born pregnant. They are nocturnal creatures so if you see one during the day or comes out when the lights are on then the infestation is to the point where they have to come out to eat and find new places to live. Under the sink is the main place .. Ideal for them .. damp and dark. Spray the entire area with a good pesticide. Best to call an exterminator. They spread so fast you can't take the chance.

Answer 12

if you found one there might be others, so empty all the cupboards and wash everything, dispose of food that was left exposed like cereals etc... buy some plastic containers to store your food in , wash everything down with Pine Sol , buy some traps for them and set them beside openings and windows, vacuum and trow the bag out side .
