German Cockroach

Primarily indoor human environments, preferring warm, humid areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and food preparation areas.

Omnivorous scavenger; eats almost anything including crumbs, grease, glue, leather, and even soap or toothpaste.

Nocturnal and highly gregarious. They reproduce rapidly, with females carrying egg cases (oothecae) until shortly before hatching. They are fast runners but rarely fly.

Significant public health pest. They can spread pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella, and their droppings and shed skins are major triggers for asthma and allergies in humans.
