Frequently Asked Questions About American roaches
Learn how to identify, prevent, and safely eliminate American Roaches in your home.
What are American cockroaches and how can I identify them?
American cockroaches are large, reddish-brown insects with a yellowish figure-eight marking on the back of their heads. They prefer warm, damp environments such as drains, and crawlspaces. Because they move fast and often appear near water sources, spotting one usually means there are more hiding nearby.
Why do American roaches enter homes in North Texas?
These roaches often move indoors when outdoor conditions become too hot, cold, or dry. They’re attracted to moisture, warmth, and food sources like crumbs or pet food. In addition, they can travel through pipes or vents, which allows them to easily move between homes or units in multi-family buildings.
