IDENTIFYING & REMOVING ROACHES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

Let Aardvark Ant & Pest Control Inc in San Deigo get rid of the cockroaches in your home or business. These pests carry disease, and they are difficult to get rid of once you've had an infestation.

HERE IN CALIFORNIA, THERE ARE FOUR NATIVE TYPES OF ROACHES THAT YOU MAY SEE:
  • The German species are light brown or tan in color, and although they have wings, they typically don't fly. They are characterized by black stripes on the head.
  • The American type has a yellow band behind the head, and they are generally a reddish brown in color. They can grow up to three inches long.
  • The brown-banded version is probably the most invasive species, but it is also very small. Just under a half-inch, these pests are lighter in color with brown bands on the body.
  • The Oriental species tend to be very dark and shiny in appearance. They are typically smaller than one inch in length.
