Primarily indoor environments near humans, favoring warm, humid areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

Omnivorous scavenger; eats almost anything including crumbs, grease, soap, glue, and waste materials.

Nocturnal and highly reproductive; they exhibit social aggregation behaviors and are known for their ability to thrive in human dwellings. They rarely fly but are fast runners.

Significant pest; they can carry pathogenic bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, contaminate food, and produce allergens that can trigger asthma. They provide no significant benefits to the human environment.
