The average adult can last around three months without eating, provided they have access to water, and about a month without either food or water. Books and clothes are fair game, and they have a sweet tooth. Because of the sugar in alcohol, they are drawn to it.

Habits

The American cockroach is nocturnal yet can glide well when it flies. To get food, they’ll go far from their nesting grounds. Before they mature, their young (nymphs) have a greyish brown colour. Breed like crazy and have a lifespan of up to two years. inhabit any city and thrive in hot, humid climates. frequently spend time outdoors in milder climates and indoors in colder ones.

Oriental Cockroach

Apppearance

The Oriental Cockroach is usually a shiny black or dark reddish brown. The male is around 25mm with wings, while the female reaches approx. 32mm and is wingless.

Lifestyle

The oriental cockroach will consume almost everything, though it has a particular fondness for rubbish and decaying vegetation. They need water constantly, and can’t last more than two weeks without it. Because of this, you’ll often find swarms of them gathering around rivers and lakes. They may spread bacteria and germs throughout a home and look terrible doing it.

Habits

Oriental cockroaches, both male and female, lack the ability to fly. They spend most of their time outside, primarily in sewers and under piles of trash and leaves. They sneak into homes during the warmer months of the year from their subterranean nesting spots. Crawling around the bathroom or kitchen plumbing, ducting, or the underside of a sink is a common way to find their hiding places.

Adult Smoky Brown Cockroach

Apppearance

Nearly 38 millimetres in length, adult Smoky Brown cockroaches are big and winged. They blend in with the leaf and litter thanks to their glossy, uniform black and mahogany colouring.

Lifestyle

Those who have never seen enormous, flying cockroaches before are generally terrified by these bugs. They prefer warmer climates; therefore, you can find them strolling the streets at night in quest of food. They can spread germs on surfaces and cause asthma attacks or allergic reactions.

Habits

The Smoky Brown cockroach can enter the house through an open window or door, through a crack, or through another opening like other cockroaches since it can fly well. They like to gather in basements and on the bottom floor, where they are drawn to exposed waste, sewers, and areas with standing water.
