Oriental cockroaches (Blatta orientalis) are shiny black to dark reddish cockroaches that are about one-inch long. Adult female Oriental cockroaches do not have wings although they do have wing pads. Adult males, on the other hand, have shorter wings that leave a portion of their bodies exposed. Oriental cockroach nymphs are similar in appearance to their adult counterparts but females are broader and heavier than male nymphs.
As is the case with other cockroach species, Oriental cockroaches carry bacteria, parasites, and other kinds of human pathogens on their bodies and in their feces that can make people very sick. Diarrhea, dysentery, and salmonella are among the health concerns associated with Oriental roaches. Moreover, Oriental cockroach shed skins and feces may triggers asthma attacks.
Oriental cockroaches are an outdoor species typically and can be found under leaves and other organic debris, stones, and woodpiles. They also frequent sewers. Indoors, Oriental cockroaches are often discovered in basements, crawl spaces, and other damp, cool locations as well as around toilets, sinks, and pipes.
In addition to Oriental cockroach sightings, you might see egg capsules or detect a musty odor if these gross bugs have taken up residence in your home or on your property.
As we mentioned in a previous section, Oriental cockroaches prefer damp and cool areas. If the weather is too hot and dry, they may move inside structures in order to find a more comfortable environment.
