  2. American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana) – Large, reddish-brown roaches often found in damp areas like basements and kitchens.

  3. Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis) – Dark brown or black, often called "water bugs," they thrive in damp, cool places.

  4. Brown-Banded Cockroach (Supella longipalpa) – Smaller roaches that prefer warm, dry environments like inside appliances or furniture.

How an Exterminator Can Control Roaches:

  • Inspection & Identification – Professionals identify infestation sources and entry points.

  • Chemical Treatments – Use of insecticides, baits, and growth regulators to kill roaches and prevent reproduction.

  • Exclusion Methods – Sealing cracks, gaps, and openings to prevent reinfestation.

  • Sanitation Recommendations – Guidance on keeping food sources sealed and eliminating moisture.

  • Follow-up Treatments – Regular monitoring and reapplications if needed to maintain control.

Hiring an exterminator ensures a comprehensive approach to eliminating roaches and preventing them from returning.
