Get StartedCockroaches are insects and part of the order Blattodea. They have a wide oval-shaped flat body, long antennae, and a shield-shaped section behind the head that helps distinguish them from other insects. Cockroaches are ancient pests that have survived the test of time by learning how to adapt to living in a variety of habitats. While most of the world's cockroaches live outside, away from people, others have adapted to living near people.
Northern California's most problematic cockroaches include German cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches, and Turkestan cockroaches.
For most people, any insect is not a welcome sight in their homes, but that feeling triples when it comes to cockroaches! It is with good reason that cockroaches have such a bad reputation: they are disease-spreading, damaging, smelly, invasive, and food-contaminating creatures!
The most significant concerns when it comes to cockroaches include:
You have a cockroach problem because these pests are drawn to homes and businesses by the food, moisture, and shelter our yards and structures provide.
Cockroaches like Oriental cockroaches and Turkestan cockroaches often move inside our structures from the outside. They travel through cracks in the foundation, gaps under doors, torn screens, drains, and vents.
German cockroaches are structural pests and are most likely to move from place to place by hitchhiking inside things like boxes, deliveries, and grocery store bags. These difficult to control pests also stow away in used furniture or appliances!
Depending on the species, cockroaches are found inside structures or outside in gardens, wooded areas, garbage piles, sewers, and drains.
German cockroaches are significant pests inside homes, apartment buildings, restaurants, grocery stores, and schools. They prefer warm, humid living conditions and hide in dark spaces found in kitchens, bathrooms, and wall voids.
Oriental cockroaches like to live outside in very wet areas but regularly move indoors searching for food and water. They are also common visitors to basements, bathrooms, and kitchens and hang out around drains, sump pumps, and leaky pipes.
Turkestan cockroaches prefer to live outdoors in wooded areas and sometimes in our yards. Potted plants, woodpiles, leaf piles, or compost piles are places these cockroaches like to gather near homes and other structures. Lighting, food, and moisture will attract Turkestan cockroaches into homes and other buildings.
