| | Cockroach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa) is a large flightless insect from the forests of Madagascar. | | | Female cockroaches are sometimes seen carrying egg cases on the end of their abdomen; the egg case of the German cockroach holds about 30–40 long, thin eggs, packed like frankfurters in the case called an ootheca. | | | Cockroaches are insects of the order Blattodea (the name Blattaria is sometimes used). |

| | Yucky: Roach Anatomy |
| | Male cockroaches have special sense receptors that allow them to smell the odor produced by a female when she is looking for a mate. | | | To attract mates, the female cockroach produces an odor (a pheromone) that excites male cockroaches. | | | Depending on the species, females can produce egg cases with anywhere from 16 to 64 embryos (young cockroaches). |

| | Exosect : Solutions: Pests: Cockroach |
| | Cockroaches are highly adaptable and extremely mobile; moving into new buildings via sewer pipes, ducts etc. They feed on most forms of organic matter, but can survive for long periods without food or water. | | | Cockroaches come into contact with a whole range of micro-organisms with their tendency to inhabit toilets, sewers and drains; making them a serious health risk. | | | The American cockroach, Periplaneta Americana, is one of the largest urban pest cockroaches with adults measuring 35-50 mm in length. |

| | Cockroaches are also aesthetically displeasing because they can soil items with their excrement and regurgitation. | | | These parasitic wasps deposit their eggs in the cockroach ootheca preventing the emergence of cockroach nymphs. | | | American cockroaches can become a public health problem due to their association with human waste and disease, and their ability to move from sewers into homes and commercial establishments. |

| | The cockroaches prefer temperatures between 70°F and 85°F and will not survive 15°F. In structures, American cockroaches are common in areas where food is prepared or stored and moisture is plentiful. | | | Immature American cockroaches are also reddish brown to dark brown in color and often have yellow markings on the abdomen. | | | While IGRs are certainly capable of controlling American cockroach populations, they are not commonly used for peridomestic cockroach control because the cockroaches are not breeding indoors. |

| | American cockroach females deposit their eggs in bean-shaped cases (oothecae) in sheltered areas on or near the floor, usually close to a food source. | | | Adult American cockroaches are reddish-brown to dark brown (except for a tan or light yellow band around the shield behind the head), about 1-1/2 to 2-inches long, and have wings capable of flight. | | | If a severe cockroach infestation develops or if you are in doubt as to the control measures to use, contact a reputable, licensed pest control firm who has the chemicals, training and experience to best do a thorough job. |

| | Cockroach Allergy and Asthma in a 30-Year-Old Man |
| | Cockroach infestation in the home can usually be greatly reduced or even eliminated by combining the approach of integrated pest management (IPM) with the use of modern chemical controls. | | | IPM is a strategy for making the environment as inhospitable as possible for cockroaches by sealing entry points and small enclosed spaces (harborages) and eliminating sources of water (e.g., leaking pipes) and food (e.g., sealing all open food in plastic or glass and rigorously cleaning crumbs from the floor). | | | Within a given home, the highest cockroach allergen levels are usually in the kitchen, where food and moisture promote infestation, although substantial levels of allergen are also measurable in bedding, bedroom floors, and upholstered furniture (29,32). |

| | Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches |
| | The hissing cockroach is large insect that can be easily cultured as food for insectivorous reptiles and large tarantulas. | | | While being handled, the roaches usually hiss loudly--and harmlessly--giving rise to the name "Giant Hissing Cockroach." The roach is also known as the "Madagascar Hissing Roach," referring to the origin of the species in the tropical forests of that island. | | | Like most cockroaches, they are active only at night. |
