The Oriental Cockroach is not a fleet afoot as other cockroach and
it is recognized by the distinctively bad odor it puts off. With a dark
brown color the Oriental Cockroach grows to about 1 inch long and is
commonly found outdoors. It will enter buildings through sewer pipes
and prefers to live near the ground in warm, damp spaces.
The Oriental Cockroach will eat anything, but especially prefers starches,
garbage, decaying organic matter and sewage. Females lay egg capsules
that contain up to 16 eggs and usually produce 8 capsules. Oreintal
Cockroach nymphs molt seven times with about a year before maturing
to adults. Adults will live up to 6 months.
Halt Bugology Factoid
Oriental cockroaches are often called water bugs because
of their preference for dark, damp, and cool areas such as those under
sinks and washing machines, and in damp basements. (Factoid Source:
