Cockroaches
exist in 55 varieties in the United States, but only 5 kinds are
troublesome indoors. Not only do they spread disease by
contaminating food, they create an offensive odor in large
populations. Indeed, even dishes crossed by cockroaches may give off
an offensive order unless they are washed thoroughly before food
warms them.
Because cockroaches multiply so
rapidly - one common German cockroach produces forty more every
thirty days - it is essential to determine their hiding
places.
Adult
German cockroaches are about 1/2 - 5/8 inch in length. The color
varies from light brown to tan, except for 2 dark streaks on the
shield-like segment behind the head.
