Cockroach egg sacs, or oothecae, are hard casings that protect multiple eggs at once. Most DIY sprays or home remedies may kill a few adult roaches, but they rarely destroy the egg sacs, which is why infestations often return.
Cockroach egg sacs usually stay hidden in cracks, behind appliances, or inside walls, so they can be very tricky to locate. Professional targeted treatments designed to reach hidden areas are usually the most effective way to find and kill roach eggs.
