Roaches
Roaches are one of the most important insects to pest control industry. They are mostly found in premises like homes, restaurants, offices, factories or warehouses. They mechanically transmit gastrointestinal diseases like food poisoning, dysentery and diarrhea. The powder from their skin and dead bodies may cause allergies and trigger asthma especially in children and sensitive people. They also cause odor in food.
There are many species of roaches. It is very important to identify the species since each species have different behavior and require different methods of control and eradication. Roaches enter your premise through many different ways like:
Through cracks and crevices on walls, around pipes and vents
With furniture from an infested area like storage or another premise.
Boxes from infested premise or grocery.
Roaches hide behind walls, refrigerators, under sinks, stoves and other appliances, basements and attic. They prefer dark places and hence are more active at night. If you see them during the day is a sign of a much more infestation. With favorable conditions of water, food and harborage roaches (warm and moist) can multiply very quickly. Each egg (ootheca) contains at least 16 young ones or more depending on species.
A simple way to detect an infestation is through feces (droppings) which are cylindrical and black pellets that are the size of ground coffee or black pepper. Also you can see a few live roaches here and there or dead bodies lying on the floor. The best thing to do is to schedule for an exterminator to come and inspect your premise.

Most common (½ to 5/8 inches long)
Lives up to 1 year
Mostly found in the kitchen and bathrooms
Pale to medium brown with two dark stripes on pronotum
Active at night
Prefer to rest on porous surfaces like wood
