The Smokybrown Cockroach

The Smokybrown Cockroaches gets its name from its even brownish-black colour and once mature can be as long as 40 mm. These strong fliers have wings that reach beyond their body and are attracted to light. They can be found in tree cavities, underneath mulch beds and ground hiding places, and around soffits and downspouts and all areas where moisture problems are. These pests can easily enter buildings through openings or slits beneath siding, attic or soffit openings, gaps around utility and plumbing lines, and any open windows or doors. Their feed patterns are from late dusk or early morning hours when other insects are in search of food. These cunning feeders will eat any food that may be available, including food scraps, dead insects, fecal matter and plants. Because they are so dependent on a moist environment, they can be seen taking a drink when water is available.
