Cockroaches

Cockroaches in San Diego

Cockroaches spread bacteria, trigger allergies and hide in tight spaces, which makes them hard to get rid of with store-bought products alone. In San Diego they are active all year.

Common Cockroaches in San Diego

• German cockroaches: small tan roaches that breed fast in kitchens and bathrooms.
• American cockroaches: large reddish-brown roaches that come in from sewers, drains and crawl spaces.
• Oriental cockroaches: dark, shiny roaches that prefer damp areas like crawl spaces and basements.

Signs and Causes

Roaches come inside for food, water and warmth. Seeing one during the day often means a large population is hiding nearby.
