American Cockroach
How They Look
The American cockroach is the largest cockroach that infests homes and buildings in the United States. Georgia, with its mild and humid climate, is an ideal environment for the cockroach. They can be recognized by a yellow "figure-8" pattern on the shield at the front of its body. In Florida, the American cockroach is called the "palmetto bug," and it has the nickname "water bug" throughout the United States.
What They Do
Like all cockroaches, it is omnivorous and will eat virtually anything people will and many things we won't.
Where They Live
This cockroach thrives in warm, damp environments, such as sewers, steam tunnels, basements, crawl spaces, and boiler rooms. In southern states, it will also be found living and breeding outdoors. Because the cockroach will eat almost anything, they love to get into garages and home interiors.
How To Control
The key to control is to find and treat these sources directly. In many cases, the services of a professional company such as Trademark Pest Solutions, is required to achieve long-term control. In Georgia and other southern states where this cockroach lives outdoors, successful control involves treating the attic, crawl space, and exterior cracks in the home and finding and treating likely cockroach harborages over the entire property.
