Cockroaches
What Do Cockroaches Look Like?
Most cockroaches in the United States are one of two varieties: the German roach or the American roach. German cockroaches are about half an inch in length and are yellowish-brown in color. American cockroaches, meanwhile, can grow up to two inches long. Both the German and American cockroaches are of the order Blattodea and have a shield-like shell covering their thorax, long and thin antennae, and mandibles adapted for chewing.
In Arizona, we also see some of the smoky brown cockroach—which tends to stay outside but can end up indoors either by flying to higher ground or crawling through openings.
Common Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
Cockroaches are nocturnal and tend not to venture out where there is bright light. As a result, you may not see the roaches themselves for a while after they are actually infesting your home or business. If you suspect you may have a cockroach infestation or have seen one and wonder if there are more, keep your eyes out for these signs:
- Droppings – Roaches leave tiny droppings that look like ground pepper where they have been.
- Scurrying sounds – Keep an ear out for the sound of roaches as they scurry about.
- Odor – Roaches can produce a musty or pungent smell that gets worse the longer an infestation lingers.
