The American Cockroach is one of the most common pests in the US. They are reddish-brown in color and 1′′-1.5" long, with 6 legs and antennas. Even though they have wings, they rarely fly. When the weather outside begins to cool, they tend to seek shelter. They prefer warm environments and are more likely to be found in small, narrow spaces.
The eggs of American Cockroaches are one way to tell if your home is infested with them. They've left them almost everywhere they've gone. Their eggs will be all over the place, from furniture corners to books to boxes, making identification a breeze.
One of the fastest moving insects is the American cockroach. They have been observed running at three miles per hour, which is equivalent to 210 miles per hour for humans. They have wings and the ability to fly, but they are clumsy, and flying is difficult for them.
To avoid predators, American cockroaches prefer to sprint. They are scavengers who eat almost anything. American cockroaches prefer a convenient water source and are commonly found near sewers, drains, or leaky pipes.
They are extremely dangerous to have around because they can spread diseases and germs. Cockroaches spread germs easily because they crawl on unsanitary surfaces such as bathroom and kitchen floors.
Not only that, but they also leave tiny, black, blunt-ended cockroach droppings in their hiding places. This can be confused with mouse droppings, so proper identification is essential in order to contact the appropriate exterminator.

The eggs that they leave behind almost everywhere they go are one of the simplest ways to check for an infestation. These are about 8mm long, dark brown, and shaped like capsules.
These are most commonly found in kitchens and basements, but they can also be found in furniture. The last indicator is extremely difficult to detect because they leave a distinct odor that only a few people are able to detect.
The American cockroach is one of the most hardy pests on the planet. And, despite their small size, they are extremely difficult to eliminate, making it difficult for ordinary people to eliminate every trace of their existence using common household materials.
Cockroaches are difficult to detect because they seek shelter when the lights are turned on. But if you have them or suspect you have them, here's how to make an ingenious roach trap. Fill a deep, smooth-walled jar halfway with beer and place it directly against a wall.
The roaches will be drawn to the beer's aroma and will climb into the jar. They will drown inside the beer if they fall inside because they will be unable to climb out due to the smooth sides.
Sealing food and water in closed containers is another good practice for cockroach prevention. Use garbage cans with tight lids, vacuum on a regular basis, and seal off any gaps.
