The Cockroach Species Commonly Found in Lubbock

Did you know there are over 4500 cockroach species worldwide? Fortunately, only about 30 of them would be considered pests (i.e., they infest homes and businesses).

In Lubbock, the main cockroach species that cause problems are:

German Cockroaches

These are the most common species in the world. They are small (generally about a half inch) and light brown with two dark stripes on their pronotum (a structure near their head). Unfortunately, German cockroaches reproduce quickly, are good at remaining hidden, and can resist certain pesticides.

American Cockroaches

These pests are bigger (up to 2 inches) than their German counterparts and reddish-brown. American cockroaches prefer hot and humid environments, which makes many homes, restaurants, stores, and other commercial buildings ideal for them. If you notice one or more American cockroaches in your space, contact a professional quickly before the infestation gets out of hand.

Oriental Cockroaches

Smaller (up to 1 inch) and darker than American cockroaches, oriental cockroaches prefer cooler areas like basements and crawl spaces. They can feed on almost anything, even decaying plants and animals, so they are not picky about where they reside.

Brown-Banded Cockroaches

As the name suggests, brown-banded cockroaches are small (about a half-inch) and have brown bands across their bodies. They can infest an office building, apartment complex, or home in large numbers. Due to their smaller size and ability to fly (for short distances), they also hide well.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation

Seeing a cockroach (either dead or alive) is an obvious sign that you may have an infestation. However, there are other indicators that these pests may be in your home or commercial building.

These include:

Droppings, which resemble black pepper or coffee grounds
Egg casings (called oothecae) that appear dark brown or red and are oval-shaped
An unpleasant, musty odor, which is unexplained and intensifies over time
Damage to paper or fabric items, like books and clothes, since cockroaches feed on these materials
Smears of a dark-colored, greasy substance on baseboards and other areas where cockroaches have scurried near
