Common types of cockroaches

Among the many cockroach species, a few are responsible for most infestations in homes and commercial properties. Here's what you should know about the types we most often find during inspections and treatments:

American cockroach

Often referred to as the palmetto bug, the American cockroach is large and can be a nuisance in warm, damp areas like basements or bathrooms. These roaches can fly and are often spotted in sewer systems.

Brown-banded cockroach

These roaches prefer dry places like bedrooms and living areas. They’re smaller, ranging from dark brown to light brown, and can often hide in high spots, making them harder to detect.

German cockroach

The most common indoor species behind roach infestations. Found in kitchens and bathrooms, they breed quickly and can be resistant to common insecticide sprays.

Oriental cockroach

Oriental cockroaches are dark and shiny. They thrive in cool, damp places like crawl spaces or drains. They’re slow-moving but can contaminate surfaces and food.

How to get rid of cockroaches with Western Exterminator

DIY traps and sprays may offer short-term relief, but they rarely address the root cause of a cockroach infestation. Our roach control methods go beyond surface-level treatments. We combine targeted applications, bait placements, and ongoing monitoring using integrated pest management (IPM) techniques. Our technicians know where cockroaches hide, in cracks, crevices, and behind appliances, and are trained to find and treat these hard-to-reach areas. For help with long-term protection from these pests, you can rely on Western Exterminator’s pest control services.

Think you have roaches?

If you think you might have cockroaches but you’re not sure, look for these warning signs:

  • Droppings: The presence of small, dark, cylindrical droppings resembling coffee grounds or black pepper. 
  • Smear marks: Brownish or dark smears along baseboards, counters, or walls suggest that cockroaches have been traveling through those areas.
  • Shed skin: Finding discarded exoskeletons or shed skin is a strong sign of a cockroach infestation, as they molt several times throughout their lifecycle. 
  • Foul odors: An unpleasant, musty smell in your home can signal a cockroach problem, as large infestations often emit a distinctive odor from their pheromones. 
  • Egg cases: The discovery of small, brown egg cases, known as oothecae, can confirm that cockroaches are breeding and multiplying in your home. 
  • Property damage: Signs of nibbled surfaces on cardboard, paper, or fabric can indicate that cockroaches are scavenging for food and damaging household items. 
  • Visual sightings: Spotting cockroaches, especially during the day, suggests an infestation, as these nocturnal creatures typically prefer to hide and emerge at night.

If you're seeing any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a free inspection with Western Exterminator. Cockroaches can spread bacteria, making them more than just a nuisance. Let our cockroach control experts take a closer look.

Frequently asked questions

Professional pest control services can help reduce cockroach populations through cockroach extermination, as well as measures to prevent them from coming back.

Prices vary depending on the severity of the issue and the size of the property. Contact us for a free estimate so you know what to expect.

Roaches breed fast, and early treatment can help limit the spread, so it can be helpful to call in a technician as soon as you see signs of an infestation.

That depends on the infestation and the treatment plan. Regular servicing can offer longer-term protection and can help to prevent repeat infestations.
