Household Pests

American Cockroach


(Length: 1 3/8" – 2 1/8") One of the groups commonly referred to as "Palmetto Bugs", the American Cockroach is the largest of the roaches infesting homes. It has reddish brown wings and is a good flyer. American Cockroaches often invade from sewer systems and heavily mulched areas. The female attaches the egg capsule, containing 15-18 eggs, in high areas in garages, closets, utility rooms and fireplaces. Found nearly anywhere in the house, American Cockroaches contaminate food, carry disease and damage book bindings, fabrics and wallpaper.
