Oriental cockroaches are reddish-brown or black and measure up to 1 inch in length. Only the males have brown wings. In summer, Oriental cockroaches prefer the outdoors, nesting in piles of firewood and debris, sheds, dog houses, sewers, storm culverts, and buildings. In homes, they nest in damp, secluded basements, crawl spaces, sump pumps, and attics.
Growing up to 2 inches long, the American cockroach commonly nests in warm, damp basements, crawl spaces and sewers. The American cockroach is an omnivorous scavenger, eating virtually anything. It often possesses disease-causing bacteria resulting from the unsanitary conditions it lives in.
German cockroaches are light to medium brown with two dark stripes on the thorax, growing up to 5/8 inches long.
