Cockroaches

Cockroach Pest Control and Extermination in Bloomington and Columbus, IN

The Culprits

Cockroaches are some of the most common pests worldwide, and they’re everywhere. An estimate of 4,600 species of roaches thrive in the world; five of those are common to Southern Indiana. 

  • German Roach – Tan in color and often appear in large numbers; most common species to be found in home kitchens and food establishments.
  • American Roach – reddish-brown in color; they prefer warm, moist areas. They are often found in basements, around sewers.
  • Oriental Roach – Shiny black or very dark brown and often found in cellars or damp, dark areas.
  • Brown-banded Roach – Tan in color like the German roach, but often infests the entire house, rather than just the kitchen.
  • Woods Roach – Not usually found indoors but can be brought inside on firewood.

Notoriously, it's hard to get rid of cockroaches. After all, they've found a way to survive on this planet for 350 million years! In addition, roaches are some of the most quickly reproducing pests, and they can live up to two months without food or water. So, it's clear why cockroaches' pest control doesn't happen independently.
