Frequently Asked Questions About Oriental Cockroaches

What are oriental cockroaches?

Oriental cockroaches, commonly known as "water bugs" or "black beetles," are unsightly pests that can quickly become a nuisance in your home. They are medium-sized insects, ranging from dark brown to black in color, with a shiny and almost greasy appearance. Males have short wings, while females have underdeveloped wings, rendering them unable to fly. These cockroaches prefer urban and suburban areas, and can endure harsh conditions.

Are oriental cockroaches dangerous?

Oriental cockroaches do not bite or sting like some other pests, but they pose health risks due to potential contamination. These roaches carry bacteria, viruses, and pathogens on their bodies and in their digestive systems. Contact with food, utensils, or surfaces can lead to disease spread. Additionally, their droppings and shed skins can trigger allergies and worsen asthma symptoms, especially in sensitive individuals. It’s important to get rid of cockroaches in your home to protect you and your family’s health.
