This species of small cockroach measures on average around half an inch long. It can be identified by its two black "racing stripes" on the back of its head. They very closely resemble Asian cockroaches, but with the exception of German roaches rarely fly, whereas Asian roaches can fly similar to a moth. German cockroaches cannot survive in the cold, which is why they are predominantly found in homes and businesses. They reproduce faster than any other residential cockroach. Because of this, their infestation levels can be reached very rapidly. These, and many other roaches are thigmotactic, meaning they prefer surfaces touching both sides of their body. The tighter the space, the more comfortable they are. This is one pest that needs to be left to the professionals. During the treatment process, it is vitally important to keep your floors swept and mopped, counter tops wiped, and no dirty dishes left overnight.
