Oriental Roach

Oriental Roaches are mid-sized, ranging from 0.75 to 1.25 inches long.  They are the stereotypical general shape of a roach, with a flat body.  They have wings but cannot fly. They are generally a glossy brown or black shade with ridges along the lower half of their back.

​

They tend live in places with lots of moisture and decaying materials, such as leaf piles, mulch, and basements.  They are very difficult to eradicate once they have established in an area.
