American Cockroaches

What are American cockroaches?

american cockroach in franklin tn

American cockroaches are the largest of the home-infesting roaches, typically measuring between 1.5 and 2 inches in length. This type of roach has wings but, while they are capable of flight, they rarely fly.

They are reddish-brown in color with a small section of brown or yellow behind their head. They are commonly found in restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, breweries, and other establishments where food is prepared or stored.

American cockroaches also like moist environments and can be found in sewers, basements, and typically on the first floors of buildings. They aren't often found inside homes but have been found in crawl spaces.

Are American cockroaches dangerous?

They don't bite and they can't physically hurt you, but cockroaches are known for spreading bacterial diseases that they pick up on the spines of their legs. They can foul food and even incite asthma in small children. They can also destroy wallpaper and personal belongings like books, papers, and clothing.

Why do I have an American cockroach problem?

These pests are attracted to moist environments. So if you have areas of dampness or moisture in your structure, you may be inviting an American cockroach infestation. Unlike German cockroaches that tend to establish a presence in your home and rapidly multiply, American cockroaches are more of an occasional invader that may come indoors but tend to leave. Though rare in middle Tennessee, if you have a recurring American roach problem that is not easily solved, there may be moisture problems that need to be addressed. Cracks in your foundation or gaps in the exterior of your home are likely entry points. This type of roach may also be transported inside your property in infested packages or belongings.

Can I do it myself?

Many Do-It-Yourself methods for roach control simply don't work. They can also be dangerous to you, your family, and your employees and customers if they are mixed or handled improperly. Proper sanitation can go a long way in getting rid of roaches, but that doesn't always completely solve the problem, especially once you already have a large infestation.
