Description

The Blatta orientalis cockroach is 25 mm in length and is dark brown to black, hence the common name black beetle. The male has rudimentary wings, but neither the male nor female can fly. Oriental cockroaches, often called water bugs, prefer dark, damp, and cool areas like basements and areas around sinks, drains, and washing machines. Oriental cockroaches produce allergens on their bodies and in their feces, and they may be a potential cause of childhood asthma and allergic dermatitis. The Oriental cockroach tend to predominate in tropical and subtropical regions.
