An American cockroach may grow to be between 40 and 50mm long. As they infest the sewage system, American cockroaches are active both indoors and outdoors.

Brown-banded Cockroach (Supella longipalpa)

Brown-banded cockroaches have a comparable body size to German cockroaches. Males are light yellowish or brown in color, while females are darker. Brown-banded cockroaches derive their name from the transverse stripes on their bodies. Cockroach infestations in homes and businesses are also caused by this species.

German Cockroach (Blatella germanica)

German Cockroaches are around 20mm long. They are tanned or light brown in colour. The two black stripes on the back of adult German cockroaches help to identify them. They are typically found in the following locations: Kitchens (indoors) Food preparation areas.

Restaurant and F&B owners have nightmares about large German cockroach infestations. Control techniques for this species are more difficult to implement than for other species. This is attributed to the spread of pesticide resistance and the high rate of reproduction.

How to Prevent Cockroaches from Invading Your Home

Identify entry points and hiding places. Inspection is a crucial step in locating cockroach access points and hiding locations. Because cockroaches are nocturnal insects, it is advisable to do an examination at night.

Their probable access locations include cracks, fissures, or gaps developed around utility lines and pipelines. To seal the access locations discovered, silicone-based caulk might be utilized. Also, examine, clean, and ventilate the spaces beneath the kitchen sink and refrigerator, since these are the moist locations that can become cockroach breeding grounds.
