What Are Pennsylvania Wood Cockroaches?
The Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach (Parcoblatta pensylvanica) is a distinctive species of cockroach found in our region. Understanding their characteristics helps in managing and preventing infestations.
- Size: Adult Pennsylvania Wood Cockroaches are approximately 1 inch long. They are smaller than some other cockroach species but still noticeable when they invade your space.
- Color: They have a reddish-brown color with a characteristic pattern on their wings. Males have longer wings, which extend beyond their abdomen, while females have shorter wings.
- Habits: This species prefers outdoor environments, particularly in wooded areas or under leaf litter. However, they can occasionally enter homes, especially during warm weather or if there are gaps in your home’s exterior. They are not typically found in high-density indoor areas but can be a nuisance if they do invade.
- Reproduction: Pennsylvania Wood Cockroaches reproduce by laying egg cases (oothecae) that contain around 20 eggs. These egg cases are usually deposited in secluded outdoor locations.
