Roaches in your home? Get connected with a local pest control pro
Seeing one roach in daylight often means many more are hiding. German cockroaches live and breed indoors in kitchens and bathrooms, while larger American and smokybrown roaches usually come in from outside. A pest control provider can identify the species and treat where they hide.

Not always. They can come in on grocery bags, boxes and used appliances, or from neighboring units. But food and water make an infestation grow.
