Pest
Cockroaches are one of the oldest groups of insects,
indicating how successful they have been in adapting
to changes in their environments. One reason for
this success may be related to diet--they are
scavengers and will eat anything organic. They
prefer food sources such as starches, sweets, grease
and meat products, but other items may include
cheese, beer, leather, glue, hair, starch in book
bindings, flakes of dried skin or decaying organic
matter (plant or animal).
Cockroaches are attracted to warm, moist
environments. They spend the daylight hours in dark,
secluded sites under refrigerators, stoves, false
bottoms in kitchen cabinets, in the backs of
cabinets and in crevices between baseboards and
floors or cabinets and walls. They may also be found
behind pictures or within electronic equipment. A
number of these openings will ultimately lead to
voids in the stud walls. The insects leave these
sites at night to forage for food and water. The
presence of cockroaches during the day may indicate
a large population.
There are about 3,000 species of cockroaches in the
world and about 50 occur in the United States. Of
these 50 species, the three most common in the
Northeast are the German cockroach, the American
cockroach and the brownbanded cockroach.

German Cockroach: Battelle germanica
The German cockroach is 12 to 17 mm (1/2 to 5/8
inch) long, tan to light brown, and has two dark
brown stripes on the body region (pronotal shield)
just behind the head. Females will produce four to
eight egg capsules during their lifetime, with each
capsule containing approximately 40 eggs. The egg
capsule is retained by the female until the eggs are
ready to hatch, usually in 28 to 30 days.
German cockroaches are widespread and can be found
in homes, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes or
apartments. Within these areas, the cockroaches
prefer sites close to moisture and food, making them
common pests in kitchens, bathrooms and food-storage
areas. Of the cockroaches which infest structures,
the German cockroach is probably found more
frequently than other species.
Brownbanded Cockroach: Supella longipalpa
The
brownbanded cockroach is 12 mm (1/2 inch) long,
light brown, and has two lighter colored bands
running across the body. These bands are located at
the base of the wings and on the abdomen. The bands
are much darker during the immature stages. The
brownbanded female carries the egg capsule for 24 to
48 hours before gluing it to a surface. The capsule
contains approximately 18 eggs that hatch in 50-74
days. An adult female produces about 18 egg capsules
over a life-span of 10 months.
The brownbanded cockroach requires less moisture
than other cockroaches. It is more prevalent in
homes, apartments, hotels and hospital rooms than in
restaurants or stores. Evidence of this cockroach
may be found behind pictures, in furniture, the
underside of chairs and tables, upper kitchen
cabinets or the upper shelves of closets and
pantries. The brownbanded cockroach often infests
electrical appliances such as radios, televisions,
telephones and computers.
Cockroach Control:
Identification:
Identification of the infesting cockroach is crucial
to successful management. Knowledge of the
preferences and habitats of each species will help
to provide more accurate and effective control.
Sanitation:
Anything that can be done to eliminate the sources
of food and water for the cockroaches from the home
environment will help in their control or a proper
fumigation / pest control:
• Do not allow dirty dishes to accumulate in the
sink and remain there overnight
• .
• Keep food scraps in the refrigerator or in
containers with tight-fitting lids.
•
• If pets are in the home, keep the pet food in
tightly sealed containers, and do not allow food to
remain in the bowls overnight. Feed only what the
animal will eat at the time of feeding.
•
• Remove garbage from the home on a routine basis.
Keep outside containers covered, especially at
night.
• Periodically check and clean the evaporation pan
under the refrigerator or freezer.
•
• A critical point may be the area between the stove
and cabinet, where grease and food scraps often
accumulate. Pull the stove out periodically and
clean thoroughly.
Trapping:
Cockroach traps are containers (available in various
shapes) open on both ends and with adhesive surfaces
on the inside. The traps may or may not include a
food attractant. As the cockroach enters the box, it
becomes trapped in the adhesive. Proper placement is
essential! Cockroaches move from point to point
along lines where vertical and horizontal planes
meet. This may be where the floor and wall join, it
may be where the bottom of a drawer meets the side
of the drawer, or where a shelf joins the wall of a
cabinet. Place traps flush to the wall, as even a
small gap between the trap and wall allows the
cockroach to bypass the trap.
Insecticides:
Insecticides give the best control when applied
under objects (refrigerators and stoves), along
lines where shelving meets walls (top and bottom),
in the backs of the cabinets, behind pictures
(depending on species) and as crack and crevice
treatments. Remove dishes, cookware and foods from
cabinets before treatments; return after the spray
has dried. There are many products readily available
for this purpose as follows -:
