Cockroach (likely American or Oriental)

Dark, damp areas such as basements, sewers, drains, and crawl spaces

Omnivorous scavengers eating decaying organic matter, food scraps, and starch-based materials

Nocturnal insects that are highly social and hide in crevices during the day; rapid runners that prefer warm, moist environments

Can contaminate food sources with bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, and their shed skins and droppings can trigger allergies or asthma in humans
