Cockroach Identification Guide
What are cockroaches?
Cockroaches are nocturnal insects that hide during the day. These pests are difficult to identify in small numbers because they are most active when we are sleeping. When infestations grow larger, or food becomes scarce, you are more likely to see them out and about during the day. If you see cockroaches in your home, call Assurance Pest Solutions immediately.
Cockroaches are opportunistic scavengers and will find a way onto any property that offers them food, water, and shelter. Oval-shaped insects with long antennae, cockroaches are known for being poor fliers. The cockroach's only means of defense is their quick movements. Whenever cockroaches feel threatened, they use their six legs to scurry out of the way quickly.
The most common household-invading roaches living in Massachusetts and across the United States are German cockroaches, American cockroaches, Oriental cockroaches, and brown-banded cockroaches.
