Cockroaches

  • German cockroach (Blatella germanica)
  • Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis)
  • American cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
  • Brown banded cockroach (Supella longipalpa)
  • Australian cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae)
  • Smoky brown cockroach (Periplaneta fuliginosa)
 

The australian cockroach is brown with a yellow line around its head and is often confused with the american cockroach. However, this australian cockroach is smaller with a body length between 23-35 mm long.

If needed, insecticide may be helpful to control Australian cockroaches. Your local Anti-pest technician is educated in the safe use and application of any chemicals and is trained to help manage Australian cockroaches and similar pests. Since every building or home is different, your technician will design a unique cockroach treatment program for your situation.
