The first step to any roach problem is identifying which type of roach you have because they require different approaches:
The American cockroach, also known as Periplaneta americanaor a Palmetto Bug in many parts of the country, is a large and distinctive species of roach.
American Roaches are larger, about 1.5 to 2 inches. They have a reddish-brown or mahogany color and are characterized by a yellowish figure-eight pattern behind its head.
While American cockroaches can fly, they usually glide from higher places directly at your head for ultimate scaring techniques rather than engaging in sustained flight.
Prefer warm, damp environments like basements, sewers, and crawl spaces. They prefer to be outdoors but can enter homes in search of food and water.
