What Cockroach Is in My Home?

Different types of cockroaches require different treatment strategies. While some species prefer to invade kitchens and bathrooms, others hide in basements, crawl spaces, and even inside walls. Understanding what kind of roach you’re dealing with is the first step to getting rid of them for good.

Here are the most common roach types we encounter:

  • American cockroach – Often referred to as "water bugs,” these roaches can grow over two inches long. They are reddish-brown with a yellow marking behind their head and are commonly found in basements, kitchens, and bathrooms.
  • German cockroach – These light brown roaches are small but mighty in number. German cockroaches reproduce exceptionally quickly and are often found near food sources. They’re among the hardest to eradicate.
  • Oriental cockroach – Sometimes called "black beetles," these dark, shiny cockroaches are commonly found in damp areas such as basements and crawl spaces.
  • Brown-banded cockroach – These smaller roaches are light brown with distinctive band-like markings. Unlike other types, they prefer drier environments like bedrooms or living rooms.

No matter the species, cockroaches are notorious for being resilient and will persist without professional treatment from knowledgeable experts. That’s why it’s so important to give us Hotchkiss Pest Control a call at the first sign of trouble.

How We Handle Cockroach Infestations

Cockroaches don’t just disappear on their own. In fact, if left unchecked, they’ll continue to multiply, turning a minor issue into a full-blown infestation. At Hotchkiss Pest Control, we take a thorough, multi-step approach to cockroach control, making sure the entire population is addressed.

Our treatment process includes:

  • Inspection and identification – We locate problem areas, assess the severity of the infestation, and determine the species present. 
  • Targeted treatments – We use professional-grade baits, residual insecticides, insect growth regulators (IGRs), and dusts to eliminate cockroaches at every life stage. 
  • Crack and crevice treatments – Since roaches love to hide in tight spaces, we apply treatments to baseboards, wall voids, and other common harborage areas. 
  • Exclusion and prevention – We identify and seal off potential entry points to keep new roaches from getting inside. 
  • Follow-up and monitoring – If cockroaches persist, we return and retreat at no extra cost until the problem is resolved.

Unlike DIY products found in stores, our professional treatments target the root of the infestation. Cockroaches are incredibly adaptable, and many have developed resistance to over-the-counter sprays. We use proven strategies to break the infestation cycle and eliminate them for good.

How to Tell If You Have a Cockroach Problem

Roaches are nocturnal, meaning they stay hidden during the day and come out at night to feed. This makes them difficult to spot until the infestation is already well established. However, there are several telltale signs that cockroaches have moved in.

Here are common signs of an infestation:

  • Cockroach droppings that resemble tiny black grains of pepper or coffee grounds
  • Egg casings or small oval-shaped capsules left after hatching
  • A strong, musty odor from increased cockroach activity 
  • Spotting live cockroaches during the day
  • Grease smears on walls, countertops, or other surfaces

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, it’s time to call in professional help. The sooner you act, the easier it is to regain control of your space. At Hotchkiss Pest Control, we’re here to provide the trusted solutions you need to eliminate cockroaches for good.
