The ootheca can contain in a range of 10-50 eggs. The colour varies from tan to almost black, and it has two dark, roughly parallel, streaks on the pronotum running anteroposteriorly from behind the head to the base of the wings.

The presence of even one cockroach, whether an adult or a baby, indicates the presence of many more. Don't let the fact that you've only seen one and killed it make you feel better. There will be more in the future!

If you see a dead cockroach, you're probably facing an infestation. If you don't already have one, there will be many more available soon.

The presence of cockroach faeces is also a strong indicator.

Egg shells from newborn cockroaches in your home also indicate an infestation.

An unpleasant and mysterious odour is one less-obvious indication, although only a few people can detect it.
