Oriental Roach
Size: Both male and female are about one inch in length. Color: The female is
all black, while the male has two brown wings. The female Oriental
cockroach differs in appearance from the male which often leads homeowners to
believe they have two types of cockroaches. The female is black, oval in shape,
and has no wings -- only two small wing pads just behind the thoracic "shield."
The male is thinner in shape, about the same length, and has two brown wings
that extend partway down the abdomen.
The Oriental cockroach is a pest in homes throughout much of the United States. It is rarely seen in southeastern states, however. During the summer, oriental cockroaches move outdoors where they may venture into neighboring buildings. During the colder months, they reinvade homes, establishing themselves in basements and crawl spaces.
This cockroach commonly inhabits sewers and storm culverts and will enter buildings through floor drains. It will also live outdoors in firewood, leaf litter, sheds, dog houses, and similar locations. Indoors, the basement, crawl space, or any other low lying area will be the primary harborage for this pest.
Niban Bait is one of the more popular products for treating Oriental Roaches. Niban has no known resistance, won't degrade in heat or sunlight and lasts through up to 4" of rain. Niban controls cockroaches, crickets, ants, carpenter ants and various occasional invaders. Designed for both interior and exterior use, NIBAN Granular Bait is environmentally sensitive and virtually odorless, making it well suited for use in and around homes, apartments, schools, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, food processing plants and other sensitive accounts.
Treat the outside with a residual liquid such as Demand,
Tempo or Suspend. Be
sure to treat a six foot swath all the way around the house and one foot up the
foundation wall. You should also spray all the potential entry points into the
house such as windows, doors, vents, plumbing, etc. Spraying the roach harborage
areas such as under mulch, black plastic, holes or cracks in cinder block walls,
retainer walls or hollow trees will also help. For added control, apply a
pesticide granual such as Talstar.
For additional control, or a non-poisonous approach to capturing Oriental
Roaches, use Victor Pheromone Traps or
Trapper Max Glueboards. Both of these sticky
traps work great when strategically placed throughout the home or garage.
Treat the inside with Delta Dust,
Borid Turbo, or Drione.
These products can be applied to cracks and crevices where these insects hide.
Be sure to pay attention to plumbing areas, wall voids, and under cabinets. Pay
special attention to any areas of your home where there is water. This includes
the refrigerator, air conditioner, dishwasher, laundry room and all of the
plumbing.
For application equipment, you may need the B & G sprayer,
the Bugwieser, the
Hudson Sprayer, or the
White Crusader Duster.
