American (a.k.a. Water bug)
Size: 1 ½” to 2”
Color: Dark reddish brown

Brown Banded Cockroach
Size: ½” to 5/8”
Color: Dark and light brown banding across its back
How to recognize: Same size as german cockroach, but doesn’t depend as much on moisture in its habitat
Habitat: Prefers areas over 80 degrees, often found high on walls, in picture frames, behind molding, near appliance motors, in light switches, closets and furniture

German
Size: ½” to 5/8”
Color: Light brown, with two dark brown vertical stripes behind the head.
How to recognize: Found all over the world, living wherever man lives, sharing the same foods and habitats.
Habitat: Live closely packed in small cracks and crevices near food and water. Commonly found in restaurants, kitchens and stores where food, moisture and shelter are abundant. Rarely seen outdoors.
Behavior: Populations increase rapidly, and they usually hide during the day. They contaminate food, leave stains, create foul odors and carry disease organisms.
Oriental
Size: Often reach 1” in length
Color: Dark brown to black
How to recognize: Not as large as the American cockroach, the females are somewhat oval in shape. Neither sex can fly, even though they have wings.
Habitat: Inhabit damp locations such as crawl spaces under structures, or underground water and sewage systems. Often enter structures by walking in or entering through drains of various kinds.
Behavior: Their travel through such unsanitary habitats increases their potential as disease vectors. It may be common in outdoor environments and enter a structure on its own, by crawling under doors or through other exterior openings.
Smokey Brown

Color: Uniform in color– brownish black and very shiny
How to recognize: Good flyers and are attracted to lights at night.
