Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis)

The Oriental cockroach, also known as a waterbug, is the largest cockroach species found in German households (approx. 30 mm). Only the males have wings, though they are unable to fly. With a speed of 1.5 m/second, it is considered the fastest crawling insect.

This cockroach species is frequently found in dark areas (especially basements) where conditions are warm and humid.

The dark brown cockroach must be taken seriously as a pest and should be controlled before reproduction occurs.
