Roaches
Cockroaches are omnivorous, opportunistic feeders that will eat almost anything and are especially fond of fermenting foods. They prefer moist environments but can survive anywhere with water, and they can run up to 3 miles per hour, spreading germs quickly.
Roaches and their egg cases hide easily out of sight. Adult roaches can live about a year, and a single female can produce well over a hundred offspring. Some species can also fly.
Common Roaches in Central Texas
| Roach | How to identify | Where you find them |
|---|---|---|
| German cockroach | Small, about 1/2 inch, light brown with two dark stripes behind the head | Kitchens and bathrooms, near appliances, sinks, and cabinets |
| American cockroach | Large, 1 1/2 to 2 inches, reddish brown, sometimes called a palmetto bug or waterbug | Drains, garages, attics, crawl spaces, and outdoors near the foundation |
| Smokybrown cockroach | Large, dark brown to mahogany, strong flier | Outdoors in mulch, trees, and gutters, coming inside around doors and windows |
German cockroaches breed fastest and are the hardest to get rid of without professional treatment.
Signs of a Roach Infestation
- Roaches in daylight, which often means a large population
- Droppings that look like pepper or coffee grounds in drawers and cabinets
- Egg cases behind appliances and in cabinet corners
- A musty, oily odor in heavy infestations
Why Store Bought Sprays Fall Short
Sprays kill the roaches you can see, but most of the population is hidden in wall voids, behind appliances, and under cabinets. German roaches in particular reproduce quickly, so missed egg cases restart the infestation. Targeted baits and treatments that reach hiding spots work far better.

Roach Control FAQs
Small light brown roaches with two dark stripes behind the head in the kitchen or bathroom are usually German cockroaches. Large reddish brown roaches are usually American cockroaches, often called palmetto bugs or waterbugs.
Roaches are nocturnal, so seeing them in daylight usually means the population is large and hiding spots are crowded.
Cockroaches carry germs and bacteria, and their droppings and shed skins can trigger allergies and asthma, especially in children.
Some can. American and smokybrown cockroaches can fly or glide, especially in warm weather. German cockroaches rarely fly.
Many homes see a big drop within a couple of weeks. German roach infestations often need a follow-up visit to catch roaches that hatch after the first treatment.
