Abstract

Cockroaches were an unpleasant fact of student apartments before we knew about the link to children with asthma. Now we have even more reason to tackle these nocturnal disease spreading insects. German, American, brownbanded, and oriental cockroach habits and biology are described. Photos show differences in shape and color. Insecticide methods are described for the different species. Read the label of any pesticide product before purchasing it for use indoors. 8 pages.
