The environment in our climate-controlled buildings can allow insects to thrive even during the most adverse weather conditions outside. The experts at Alco NJ Pest Control have compiled a list of different cockroaches native to New Jersey that can give any homeowner fits this winter.

Cockroaches can be black, brown or reddish brown and usually have oval-shaped bodies supported by spindly legs and they are vectors of many diseases. Cockroaches carry bacteria and parasites that can cause serious sickness in humans and when one is sighted it spells a serious problem. There are three common species of cockroaches in New Jersey and thirty more rare species that can be regional. If a cockroach is seen during the daytime, this is a sign of a serious infestation of these normally-nocturnal insects.
