About Cockroaches

Cockroaches come in over 4,500 species. But the most common and most active one is the German cockroach. It varies in color from very light brown to very dark brown. The adult is ½ inch to 5/8 inch in length and tends to be the slenderest of the cockroach family. They have two dark streaks running the length of the back. The German cockroach is usually found in the kitchen and cooking areas where it is warm and moist. They like to live under the sink, in the cupboards, in stoves, under refrigerators, near water pipes and drains. If you see a cockroach in the lighted areas, you have a huge problem because only the sick and weak ones will be seen in the lighted areas. The healthy ones prefer the dark, moist areas.

Cockroaches have been linked to spreading Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella, spp., and Staphylococcus aureaus just to name a few foodborne illness pathogens. You know you have a problem if you smell a strong oily odor, see fecal matter that looks like grains of pepper, or see a cockroach itself in the light of day.Source: Michigan State University
