What is an "Asiatic cockroach"?
An Asiatic cockroach is a small species of cockroach that is commonly found in outdoor environments, particularly in Asia. It has a dark brown to black coloration and is approximately 10-15 millimeters in length. Unlike other cockroach species, the Asiatic cockroach has wings in both males and females, allowing them to fly short distances. They prefer moist areas such as mulch, leaf litter, and other organic debris. While they are primarily an outdoor species, they can occasionally enter buildings, especially during warm weather.
