If You Spot These Small Black Dots in Your Kitchen, Here’s What You Should Know

Cockroach droppings: Tiny black specks or smears. Often found along baseboards, cabinet tops, or in dark crevices.

Rodent droppings: Pellet-shaped and slightly larger than roach droppings. Often found in corners, pantries, or behind appliances.

Location clues: If you find the dots in warm, moist areas like under the sink or near the oven, it’s likely a pest hotspot.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Them:
Health risks: Pest droppings can carry bacteria, allergens, and even diseases.

Infestation warning: Where there’s waste, there’s activity. You could be dealing with a growing colony.

Food contamination: If droppings are near food, immediate cleaning and containment are crucial.

What to Do About It:
Clean Thoroughly:

Disinfect surfaces with strong household cleaners.

Avoid sweeping or vacuuming droppings without a mask—it can stir up allergens or bacteria.

Inspect for Entry Points:

Check behind the fridge, under the sink, and around baseboards.

Seal cracks and holes, especially near pipes and vents.

Set Traps or Call a Pro:

For cockroaches: Use gel bait, sticky traps, or boric acid powder.

For mice: Use traps and seal all food tightly.

If the problem seems big, don’t hesitate to call pest control.
