Cockroach Elimination Services
The adult American Cockroach is 1 1/2 inches long (38mm),
making them the largest of the house-infesting Cockroaches.
With reddish brown, fully developed wings, the American
Cockroach has a yellowish margin on the thorax or body
region behind the head. When disturbed, they may run rapidly
and adults may fly. Immature cockroaches resemble adults
except that they are wingless. Call Fort Worth based
Assassin Exterminating for guaranteed complete
Cockroach elimination.
American Cockroaches generally live in moist areas, but can
survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer
warm temperatures around 84 degrees Fahrenheit and do not
tolerate cold temperatures. In residential areas, these
Cockroaches live in basements, around pipes and sewers, and
may move outdoors into yards during warm weather. These
cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces and
cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways
adjacent to buildings. Many times, the American Cockroach
can be found under decks, under mulching materials, inside
hollow block construction, or in any cool and damp area.
Because of their fondness for sewers, large populations can be
seen in many cities after heavy rains or flooding. They may
feed on a wide variety of plant and animal material.
Due to their large size and slow development, large
infestations of these insects are not common within houses.
However, during certain times of the year, they may move
inside a house from outside sources. For example, in winter
these Cockroaches may move indoors, seeking warmer
temperatures and food. Cockroaches may enter houses via
sewer connections, under doors, around utility pipes, air
ducts, or other openings in the foundation. Cockroach
populations in basements can be reduced by decreasing
dampness and applying residual insecticides into cracks and
crevices where there is evidence of Cockroach activity
(presence of egg cases, dead Cockroaches, brown fecal smears).

American Cockroach Identification and Elimination
Brown-banded Cockroach Identification and Elimination
The Brown-banded Cockroach is light gold to glossy dark
brown, and is 1/2 to 5/8 inch long. It has transverse yellow
bands across the base of the wings and across the abdomen.
The wings of adult males cover their abdomens, while the
females’ wings are shorter. The yellow bands across the back
are more pronounced on nymphs than on adults.
These Cockroaches are quite active, and the adults, especially
the males, fly rapidly when disturbed. Both adults and
nymphs may jump to escape danger. The adult female carries
her egg capsule for only a day or two before gluing it to a
protected surface underneath or inside furniture, in a closet
or on the ceiling in a darkened room. They can also be found
in televisions and other appliances.
Brown-banded Cockroaches are more apt to be found in
homes, apartments, hotels, motels, nursing homes and
hospitals than in restaurants, grocery stores and other
commercial establishments. They prefer starchy foods and
appear to have lower water requirements than other
Cockroaches. They can occupy drier locations within a
building. Nymphs and adults frequently are found on ceilings
in dark or dimly lit rooms, behind picture frames, in light
switches, in upper walls of cabinets and closets, or on
undersides of furniture and inside upholstered furniture.
Because Brown-banded Cockroaches are found in so many
locations they may be more difficult to control. Call Fort

Adult German Cockroaches are light brown except for the
shield behind the head marked with two dark stripes and a
single light stripe running down the middle of the back. The
adults are about 5/8 inch long. Their egg capsules are light
tan and usually yield about 36 offspring.
German Cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), are the most
common roaches found in houses and restaurants. Most
Cockroaches have a flattened, oval shape, spiny legs, and long,
filamentous antennae. Immature stages are smaller, have
undeveloped wings and resemble the adults. They eat food of
all kinds including other dead Cockroaches and may
hitchhike into the house on egg cartons, soft drink cartons,
sacks of potatoes or onions, used furniture or appliances, beer
cases, etc. Produce departments, pawn shops, nursing homes
and other such places are constantly fighting German
Cockroaches (as a general rule) and are notorious for being
the source of residential infestations.
Once they hitchhike into your home, German Cockroaches
generally infest kitchens and bathrooms. During the day,
these roaches may be found hiding clustered behind
baseboard moldings, pictures and clocks, in cracks around
cabinets, closets or pantries, and in and under stoves,
refrigerators and dishwashers. German Cockroaches do not
like motion and usually avoid light, so if you are seeing them
in the daytime while you are moving about the room, you
probably have a larger population than you realize. These pests
also prefer to hide within five feet or less of their food and
water source. Call Fort Worth based Assassin
Exterminating today for guaranteed German Cockroach
elimination.
German Cockroach females, unlike most other roaches, carry
the egg capsule protruding from their abdomen until their
capsules ready to split open. During the last three or four days
prior to dropping her egg case, the female German Cockroach
does not forage for food or water. The case is then placed in a
secluded location, with the nymphs emerging sometimes
within the hour or as long as a week. A female may produce
four to six cases during her lifetime, each containing 30 to 40
eggs. Eggs hatch in 28 to 30 days, and nymphs develop in 40
to 125 days. Female roaches live about 200 days, with males
living not quite as long. The German Cockroach produces
more eggs and has more generations per year (three to four)
than any other cockroach, and only a few individuals are
needed to develop into troublesome infestations.
Inspect sacks, cartons and boxes, etc., brought into your
home. Sanitation is critical in the prevention of Cockroach
infestations. Clean up spilled foods and liquids, avoid leaving
scraps of food on unwashed dishes and counter tops, keep food
in tightly sealed containers, rinse cans and bottles before
putting them in trash and transfer garbage outdoors into
roach-proof receptacles.

German Cockroach Identification and Elimination
The Oriental Cockroach is dark reddish brown in color, so
dark in fact that it is sometimes referred to as the "Black
Beetle" in Europe and some parts of the United States. When
disturbed, it may run rapidly and adults may fly. Females are
wingless, while males have wings. Female Oriental
Cockroaches can be distinguished from large nymphs by the
wing stubs which have definite venation. The adult roach is
about 1 inch long (some being reported as 1 1/4 inch in
length) and immature Cockroaches resemble adults except
that they are wingless. Unlike other pest Cockroaches,
Oriental roaches cannot climb up smooth surfaces (they lack
sticky pads on their feet).
Oriental Cockroaches generally live in moist areas, but can
survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer
cooler temperatures around 75 degrees Fahrenheit and can
survive during winter in protected areas outdoors where
temperatures average 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. These
Cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces, cracks
and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways adjacent
to buildings. They feed on a wide variety of plant and animal
material. The Oriental Cockroach breeds well in unventilated
crawl spaces or basements where humidity is high.
These Cockroaches may enter houses via sewer connections,
under doors, around utility pipes, air ducts, or other openings
in the foundation. Cockroach populations in crawl spaces can
be reduced by decreasing dampness. Call Fort Worth based

Oriental Cockroach Identification and Elimination
The Smokybrown Cockroach is closely related to the American
Cockroach , but is a uniform shiny, dark-brown or mahogany
color. It is about 1 1/4 to 1 3/8 inches long; with the wings of
both sexes covering the abdomen. Young nymphs have white
markings on the thorax and abdomen and on some antennal
segments. Older nymphs are uniformly dark brown. Reported
in the United States as early as 100 years ago, this roach has
become a major pest in many parts of the United States
including Texas.
It is most prevalent in moist regions of the country including
Gulf Coast states and southern and eastern portions of
Mississippi. Due to its large size and the speed at which it
moves, this is not one of the most popular visitors in any home.
The Smokybrown Cockroach has a great tendency to lose
moisture through the cuticle and thus requires water every two
to three days. This pest is most likely found in areas which are
protected, moist, dark, relatively warm and free from the
desiccating effects of air flow. In nature, tree holes and the
canopies of palm trees offer an ideal environment in which this
bug can thrive.
The home equivalent of these conditions include:
