American Cockroaches

A large, reddish-brown pest commonly found in urban areas.
Known for its ability to thrive in unsanitary conditions, the American cockroach is a carrier of bacteria and can trigger allergies. These resilient insects prefer warm, moist environments and are often found in kitchens, basements, and sewers.
Australian Cockroaches

A common tropical cockroach often mistaken for its larger cousin, the American cockroach. Typically found outdoors but can invade homes in search of warmth and moisture. Recognizable by its yellowish markings on the body and wings. While not as prevalent indoors as other species, they can still contaminate food and spread germs.
German Cockroaches

A small, light brown pest with two dark stripes on its back. Known as one of the most common and troublesome household pests, German cockroaches reproduce rapidly and are notoriously difficult to eliminate. They thrive in warm, humid environments and contaminate food with bacteria.
Smokey brown Cockroaches

A large, dark brown cockroach often found outdoors in warm, humid environments. While primarily an outdoor pest, they can occasionally enter homes in search of food and water. Known for their preference for moist areas, they are often found in basements, crawl spaces, and bathrooms. Like other cockroaches, they can transmit bacteria and trigger allergies.
Wood Cockroaches

A primarily outdoor pest, wood cockroaches are often found in wooded areas, under logs, and in leaf litter. These insects are typically larger than their household counterparts and have a reddish-brown color. While they can occasionally wander indoors, they rarely establish infestations and usually die due to dehydration.
Oriental Cockroaches

A large, dark brown to black cockroach is often referred to as a “waterbug.” These slow-moving insects thrive in damp, dark environments like basements, sewers, and drains. While they can’t fly, they are strong climbers and can invade homes in search of food and water. Oriental cockroaches are known carriers of bacteria and can trigger allergic reactions.
Florida Woods Cockroaches

Often referred to as a “palmetto bug,” this large, dark brown cockroach is native to the southeastern United States. Typically found outdoors in wooded areas, it can occasionally invade homes, especially in damp locations. Slow-moving and lacking wings, it’s not a strong flyer. While not a primary household pest, its presence can be unsettling due to its size.
