“The Commercial Roach”

These insects are about 1/2” to 5/8” long when mature. They are found throughout the country and are extremely difficult to control because the female successfully raises the young which mature rapidly and reproduce. Some infestations are in the thousands in a very short time – Also known as the commercial roach, they are found in all commercial buildings where food, and water is available and occupied by man. Because they are able to reproduce so rapidly they are known to become resistant to pesticides.

They are transported to homes from infested grocery bags ect. They feed on all types of human food mostly at night and rest during the day in protected area usually in the kitchen and bathrooms. Heavy infestations may be found any where that is moist and warm however and may forage for food and water during the day.
