Identifying American Cockroaches

American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) are large, reddish-brown insects, usually growing up to 1.5 to 2 inches long. Unlike other common cockroach species, they have wings and are capable of flying short distances. Known for their speed and ability to squeeze into small spaces, these pests can often be found in warm, moist environments.

Common places to find American cockroaches include:

  • Basements
  • Kitchens
  • Drains
  • Crawl spaces
  • Behind appliances

They are attracted to food, moisture, and warmth, making them a frequent invader in homes and commercial kitchens, especially during the warmer months.

Are American Cockroaches Harmful?

While American cockroaches are not known to bite, they can pose serious health risks. These pests often pick up bacteria and pathogens as they scurry through sewage systems, garbage, and decaying matter, contaminating surfaces and food as they move through your property. The presence of cockroach droppings can also trigger allergies and exacerbate asthma, particularly in children and the elderly.

How to Prevent an American Cockroach Infestation

Keeping American cockroaches out of your home or business requires vigilance. Some key preventative measures include:

  • Sealing cracks and crevices in walls, doors, and windows
  • Repairing leaky pipes and eliminating excess moisture
  • Properly storing food in sealed containers
  • Regularly cleaning kitchen surfaces and disposing of waste
  • Keeping basements and crawl spaces dry and ventilated

By limiting access to food, water, and shelter, you can help prevent cockroach infestations from taking hold.
