be found in kitchens and bathrooms but may be seen in other parts of the
house if there is a high population. This cockroach is light brown with two
dark stripes on their head and is very small in size. The possess wings but
may not fly. This means that most infestations are from eggs being brought
into the property in packages or in apartment blocks they can come from
neighbours. They are more active in the summer when conditions are ideal for
breeding and are mainly nocturnal creatures. If seen during the day this will
normally indicate a high population. These cockroaches will eat anything
organic and can generally be responsible for infestations in restaurants,
canteens, factories, café, bars, clubs, hospitals, hotels and domestic homes.

cockroach and her offspring can produce up to thirty thousand cockroaches in
one year. Because of their ability to reproduce so quickly they are a common
problem that are quiet hard to get rid of. American
