What do brown-banded cockroaches look like?

Adult brown-banded cockroaches reach about ½ inch in length and are characterized by their light brown color and distinctive bands across their wings. Females have a shorter, stouter body shape and lack fully developed wings, making them incapable of flight. In contrast, adult male brown-banded cockroaches are highly active and can swiftly take flight when disturbed. If you're dealing with a brown-banded cockroach infestation, it's important to address the issue promptly to protect your home or business from these pests.

Brownbanded cockroaches prefer areas where temperatures exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit and conditions are drier. In kitchens and bathrooms, they often hide in upper cabinets, on shelves, or near ceilings. They're also known to lurk behind light switches, inside furniture, and within electronic devices. Unlike other roaches, brownbanded cockroaches tend to avoid water and bright light.
