What are German cockroaches?
Alongside the American cockroach, one of the most common species of cockroach found in the United States and Tennessee is the German cockroach (also known as waterbugs).
German cockroaches have wings but are flightless.
They measure ½ to 5/8 inches in length and are tan to light brown in color with dark parallel lines running from the back of their head to the wings.
Are German cockroaches dangerous?
German cockroaches can cause health problems for humans. Their feces and saliva have triggered asthma attacks in some people. Cockroaches can also carry salmonella and E. Coli, with which they can contaminate your food, food prep area and utensils. The pathogens they carry can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea in humans.
Why do I have a German cockroach problem?
Cockroaches can either enter your home on their own while foraging for food or be carried into your house in boxes, bags and luggage. Once they are in your home they will look for a warm, dark, moist environment to hide in. They are often found in basements, crawl spaces, kitchens and bathrooms; they like moist areas with lots of cracks, crevices and other hiding spots.
