	Cockroach - MSN Encarta
		Cockroaches have earned a bad reputation not only because they feed on human food stores and garbage but because they foul their surroundings, leave behind a repugnant odor, and are extremely difficult to eradicate.
		The German cockroach, Blatella germanica, the Asian cockroach, Blatella asahinai, and the brownbanded cockroach, Supella longipalpa, are in the family Blatellidae.
		The Madeira cockroach is Leucophaea maderae, the Brazilian cockroach is Blaberus giganteus, and the Madagascar hissing cockroach is Gromphadorina portentosa, all in the family Blaberidae.

		The Asian cockroach is a rural and suburban pest that mainly infests single-family, suburban houses and yards.
		The main morphological differences between the Asian and German cockroaches are the shape of a groove in one segment (eighth) of the abdomen and a small gland in the males.
		In feral habitats, the Asian cockroach is found in shaded areas of pastures, along shaded road sides in leaf mulch, in shaded areas of thick grass, and in ground cover of abandoned citrus groves.

	German cockroach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The German cockroach is one of the most common and prominent household cockroaches in the world, and can be found throughout many human settlements in the world.
		The German cockroach is originally from Asia, and is also very closely related to the Asian cockroach, to the extent that to the casual observer they appear nearly identical and may be mistaken for the other.
		The German cockroach is very successful at establishing a niche in buildings, and is very hardy and resilient towards attempts to exterminate them.

	Asian cockroach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is nearly identical to the German cockroach except for a few very minor differences, and the fact that it can fly quite well.
		It has longer wings than the German cockroach, and there is a difference between a groove in the abdomen between the two species.
		In fact, there is some speculation the German cockroach may simply be a strain of the Asian cockroach that evolved for indoor habitats.

	Cockroaches
		Cockroaches, especially the German cockroach, are the most commonly encountered and important household insect pests in much of the U.S. Only a few of the cockroach species found in the United States routinely enter and infest our dwellings.
		Asian cockroaches present a rather difficult pest management challenge for professionals and homeowners in the affected areas.
		Cockroaches have a behavioral trait known as "thigmotaxis," which means that they prefer to have the side or top of their body touching another object.

		Additionally, cockroaches are believed to spread viruses and their presence can cause allergic reactions for many people, especially asthmatic children.
		These cockroaches are most commonly introduced into buildings via paper products or paper packaging such as grocery bags, cardboard boxes, drink cartons, and via secondhand appliances such as refrigerators, televisions, VCR's, microwaves, etc. They have been observed to migrate from building to building on warm evenings, but this rarely occurs.

		A laboratory study is underway to investigate Asian cockroach reproduction at 15, 25 and 35 degrees C. They are expected to reproduce most efficiently at the highest temperature.

	cockroach control
		A cockroach survey (trapping) is sometimes necessary to determine the extent of an infestation because even a thorough inspection will not reveal all the cockroach harborages, or where they are foraging most actively at night.
		In general, when a cockroach problem persists despite thorough treatments, a survey can assist in at least narrowing down the areas which may be serving as sources of infestation or are not receiving proper insecticide treatment.
		Cockroach surveys involve the use of sticky traps placed at strategic locations within the structure or in the landscape (for outdoor species).

		This cockroach is considered as important in the food industry as stored-product insects, and is the most important insect pest in the urban environment throughout most of the United States.
		The principle habitat of the Asian cockroach is typically leaf litter or natural mulches, in and under ground cover in whole or partial shade.

	German Cockroach - Blattella germanica (Linnaeus)
		In Florida, the German cockroach may be confused with the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai Mizukubo.
		German cockroaches adulterate food or food products with their feces and defensive secretions, physically transport and often harbor pathogenic organisms, may cause severe allergic responses, and in extremely heavy infestations have been reported to bite humans and feed on food residues on the faces of sleeping humans.
		Since the German cockroach is considered an aesthetic pest, the action threshold for this insect depends upon the tolerance of the people living in the infested dwelling.

		In general, cockroaches like to squeeze into warm cracks and crevices, but as you can see from the Table, the specifics of their habitat differs with the species of cockroach.
		Cockroaches are generally active at night and remain hidden during daylight.
		However, since cockroaches tend to remain hidden during the day it is difficult to access the size and location of the population until after dark.

	Asian

		Unlike its close cousin, the German cockroach, this species lives outdoors in fields and along edges of wooded areas.

	New research in Asian ladybug allergies featured at 2006 AAAAI Annual Meeting in Miami Beach
		MIAMI BEACH - Asian ladybugs (Harmonia axyridis), have the potential to cause a reaction for spring, fall and winter allergy sufferers, according to new research presented today at the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology's 2006 Annual Meeting in Miami Beach.
		Asian ladybugs also have a unique feature - they found skin sensitization was greater in patients living in rural areas compared to those living in the city.
		The cross reactivity with cockroach allergens became evident after a test that was performed showed the Asian ladybug proteins would give a false positive result for cockroach allergens.

	Cockroach Index: German, Oriental, Asian Cuban Roaches, Cockroaches
		To many people, any large roach, roaches that live primarily outdoors or any cockroach that is not a German Cockroach is considered a woods roach.
		However, many pest control experts do consider roaches that are not German roaches to belong to a generic "large roach" or "outdoor roach" because their primary source is the outdoors.
		When our customers say that water bugs are a problem in their home, we can usually assume that they have an infestation of German Roaches.

	Insecticidal Control of Asian Cockroach in Orange Groves, 1998
		Asian cockroach is a new pest of citrus in Florida that feeds on tender young foliage and can present a sanitary problem in packing and processing facilities when brought in with fruit.
		The objectives of this trial were to test residual suppression of Asian cockroaches of insecticides applied to the ground under the canopy of citrus trees.
		We can conclude that all treatments reduced Asian cockroach populations for at least a month, with possibly more activity seen with Brigade compared to Lorsban at the tested rates.
