What are cockroaches?
Cockroaches are one of the pests of the order Blattodea,
which also contains termites. Approximately 30 cockroach species out of 4,600
are associated with human habitats. About four species are well-known as pests.
The cockroaches that are considered pests include the German cockroach,
American cockroach, Oriental cockroach, and brown-banded cockroach. Cockroaches
live in a wide variety of locations around the world.
What do they look like?
Adult German and American cockroaches are about 1/2 to 5/8
inch long; Oriental and Brown-banded cockroaches are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch
long. All are reddish brown to black except for the brown-banded cockroach,
which has light brown bands across its body just behind the head. Nymphs
(immature stages) look like adults except that they are smaller and lack fully
developed wings (except for the Oriental cockroach). All immature stages of
German, American, Brown-banded and Oriental cockroaches have a light stripe
running down each side of their bodies just behind where the wings attach (the
pronotum).
Where can you find
cockroaches?
German cockroaches prefer warm, humid places such as
kitchens(near dishwashers, stoves, and sinks) and bathrooms(near plumbing
fixtures). If these areas offer enough food and moisture, they may also be
encountered in other locations, such as living rooms, bedrooms, closets and basements.
Smaller numbers may be found in office buildings, restaurants, stores, hotels,
nursing homes, apartment buildings, buses, boats, pollution control equipment
rooms, beverage processing plants, food manufacturing facilities, zoos,
bakeries, laboratories, greenhouses, university buildings (especially
dormitories), embassies, breweries, tobacco factories, and greenhouses. They
often hitchhike into buildings in boxes or luggage. German Cockroaches often
travel between floors through heating ducts in multi-story office buildings in
urban areas worldwide.
