How do I know if I have German cockroaches or just regular ones?

German cockroaches are smaller—usually about ½ inch long—with light brown or tan coloring and two dark parallel stripes just behind the head. They’re almost always found indoors, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Other cockroach speci

es, like American or Oriental roaches, are larger and often come from outside or drains. If you’re seeing small, fast roaches concentrated in warm areas near food or moisture, they’re likely German roaches—contact us to confirm and treat properly.
