How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches

Types of Cockroaches

While there are over 3,500 species of cockroaches worldwide, there are four that are of particular concern for individuals, food service establishments and businesses. The four species of cockroaches specifically are notorious for being common pests:

1. German cockroach
2. Brown-banded cockroach
3. Oriental cockroach
4. American cockroach

Of these four species, the German cockroach has the greatest potential for becoming persistent and troublesome, followed by the brown-banded cockroach, both of which prefer indoor locations. Oriental and American cockroaches occasionally pose problems in moist, humid areas.
