Roaches are some of the largest pest insects commonly found in American homes, most being between one and two inches in length. You can also identify them by their oval body shapes, straight antennae, and dark brown coloring. Some of the most common cockroaches living in our area of North Carolina are American cockroaches, smokey brown cockroaches, brown-banded cockroaches, and German cockroaches.
Roaches love warm, damp, environments with lots of hiding places. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and other rooms with access to pipes are ideal indoor locations for roaches. Sometimes they’ll even hide in kitchen cabinets, giving them easy access to food.
Brown-banded cockroaches differ from most species in that they prefer warm, dry locations. They often hide in the upper parts of kitchen cabinets and attic spaces.
Cockroaches aren’t just disgusting to look at; there are several significant risks they can pose to you and your family. Roaches can contaminate food supplies, spread disease, and trigger allergies or asthma. Their feces and feeding habits will damage books, clothing, furniture, and other personal items.
Since cockroaches like to avoid daylight, it can be difficult to spot them. Here are a few indicators you can look for:
