German Cockroach

Size: 1-1 1/2”         Color: Dark Brown

Description: The smoky brown cockroach is a common pest mainly found from central Texas eastward. This primarily outdoor pest gets its name from its uniform brownish-black coloration. Outdoors, smoky brown cockroaches can be found in areas that are warm, very moist and protected from the elements

Signs Of Activity: These insects are commonly found outdoors and can be seen primarily at night, walking in search of food around landscaping beds, running in and out of ivy or other ground cover, and in and around gutters and fascia of homes and structures.

Size: 1/2”            Color: Brown with tan stripes

Description: These colorful roaches received their name from the light brown or tan transverse bands that are present on the wings of the adult. Unlike the German cockroach which prefers a warm temperature of approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit and more humid environment, the brown-banded cockroach tends to inhabit areas that are less humid and much warmer, with a temperature greater than 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Signs Of Activity: Brown-banded cockroaches are usually nocturnal, or active primarily at night.

Size: 1/2”-3/4”        Color: Tan, Brown

Description: Adults are easily recognized by their light brown or tan coloration with two black horizontal stripes located on the pronotum immediately behind the head. German cockroaches are most commonly found indoors, with a preference for the warmer and more humid areas of a structure. In homes, these insects will typically be found in kitchens and bathrooms.

Signs Of Activity: Sightings of German Roaches are the main sign of their activity. German cockroaches are also known to secrete a number of odorous compounds. When populations are present in large numbers, it may be possible to detect a mild, or what some have reported as a “musty” odor.

Size: 3/4” - 2”          Color: Reddish Brown with Yellow
