The American Cockroach/waterbug is usually the one seen when people brag about some “huge” roach they spotted. It can typically reach a body length of around two inches. It is a reddish-brown color.
Cockroaches are considered general feeders just about anything organic can become their next meal. They are primarily active at night, often seen scattering as you turn on a kitchen light. They are especially fond of any food crumbs that are left behind; so good basic housekeeping is one real deterrent |
