6 most common cockroach species in US homes including American cockroach, German cockroach, Oriental cockroach, Brown-banded cockroach, Smokybrown cockroach and Asian cockroach — all eliminated by Roach Blaster gel bait

American Cockroach

Most Common in US

The American cockroach is the largest common cockroach species, typically 1.5 to 2 inches long. Found in basements, sewers and kitchens, they multiply rapidly. Roach Blaster eliminates American cockroach colonies within days.

German Cockroach

Found in Kitchens

The German cockroach is the most problematic species for homeowners. They breed faster than any other common species and are often resistant to sprays. Roach Blaster gel bait is specifically effective against German cockroach colonies.

Oriental Cockroach

Lives in Basements

Oriental cockroaches prefer cool, damp areas like basements and drains. They are often called water bugs. Roach Blaster reaches them in their hiding spots and spreads through the entire colony.

Brown-Banded Cockroach

Hides in Furniture

Unlike other species, Brown-banded cockroaches prefer dry, warm areas and hide inside furniture, electronics and high cabinets. Roach Blaster is effective in all areas they inhabit.

Smokybrown Cockroach

Invades from Outside

Smokybrown cockroaches typically enter homes from outside through gaps and cracks. They are strong fliers and difficult to control with sprays. Roach Blaster eliminates them at the colony level.

Asian Cockroach

Attracted to Light

The Asian cockroach is attracted to light and often enters homes through windows and doors. They look similar to German cockroaches but behave differently. Roach Blaster is effective against both species.
