Smokey Brown Cockroach

Identification

These cockroaches are small, dark brown mahogany, black in colour. Adults have well-developed wings, that stretch to the tip of the abdomen.

Diet

They prefer plant material, but will eat anything when inside the house. They may inhabit greenhouses.

Habits and Biology

They enter the house during summer or hitchhike on firewood. These roaches fly at night towards lights.

Stop water leaks, screen equipment over flow drains, take over flow water away from buildings, keep drain traps full or capped. Remove rotting leaves from window wells. Remove garbage cans out of preferred moist habitats. Ventilate moist spaces. Generally speaking, cockroach control measures should concentrate on the outside of the building and points of entry. This is called a “perimeter or barrier” treatment.
