Some of the most common roaches you may encounter include:
- German cockroach – mostly found in homes, apartments, in restaurants adults are pale brown slightly smaller than a half-inch long, and have wings with two dark stripes that run lengthwise. They are highly reproductive and have a short life cycle. They lay egg capsules called an ootheca that contain 30 to 40 eggs that will hatch in about 28 days. In homes, they are most abundant in the kitchen where food sources and moisture are available.

Egg capsules generally contain about 18 eggs and hatch in about 50 to 75 days.
