The American cockroach is the largest cockroach that infests Homes and buildings in the United States.

Like all cockroaches, it is omnivorous and will eat virtually anything people will and many things we won't.

Habitat

This cockroach thrives in warm, damp environments, such as sewers, steam tunnels, basements, crawl spaces, and boiler rooms. In southern states, it will also be found living and breeding outdoors.
