Red Runners/Turkestan Cockroach

​A "red runner" is a common name for the Turkestan cockroach and are considered a pest due to their rapid breeding rate, ability to easily infest homes, and potential to cause health concerns through their presence and droppings. They are difficult to control once established in a building and can trigger allergic reactions in some people.

German Cockroach

​German cockroaches are not only pests but they are also linked to disease transmission by picking up germs on the spines of their legs as they crawl through decaying matter. These germs are then transferred to food and other common surfaces that humans frequently touch.

Three-Lined Cockroaches

Three-lined cockroaches are small and have three distinctive dark lines running down their backs.

 

While they are not as commonly found indoors as other cockroach species, they can still be a nuisance. They can invade homes, especially in late summer and early fall, and they appear in large numbers.

 

Like other cockroaches, they can carry bacteria and other pathogens, potentially contaminating food and surfaces. Their droppings and shed skin can also trigger allergic reactions in some people.
