Oriental Cockroach
If you have a cockroach infestation, you may notice their eggs or feces inside your property or you may notice a musty odor. The odor is most likely to occur if you have a large infestation.
American Cockroach
American Cockroaches have more reddish appearance than Oriental Cockroaches and have a pale figure 8 marking on the back of their heads. They have an oval shape with wings and can grow to be about one and a half inches long. These pests prefer warm, humid areas and are most often seen in homes and businesses when the temperature is over 70 degrees. Outdoors, they tend to live in flowerbeds, under mulch, and under landscaping ties. However, when American Cockroaches infest your property, they often inhabit dark, humid areas such as basements, laundry rooms, and food storage areas.
If you notice droppings around your home or business or smell a musty odor, you may have a cockroach infestation. These droppings and the roaches themselves can spread infections or even cause allergic reactions.
