Cockroaches
There are over 3000 species of cockroach. 4 of these are most commonly found in the UK:
- German cockroaches – adults grow to 12-15mm in length and are identifiable by two dark stripes. They are most commonly found indoors
- Oriental Cockroach – adults are 20-30mm in length and are a uniform dark brown/ black in colour. They can be most commonly found in cool, damp areas
- American cockroaches – adults can grow up to 50mm long, are red/brown and are able to fly. They are found in areas that are dark, humid and undisturbed
- Brown banded cockroaches – adults are much smaller, approximately only 10mm in size. They are identifiable from their yellow/ brown stripes and can fly. Their preference are warm and humid environments
These cockroaches will eat any sort of food and emerge from their inaccessible harbourages to forage, contaminating food, utensils and food preparation surfaces as they go. They taint food with an obnoxious smell and may be carriers of various diseases.
