Scientists often describe cockroaches as an evolutionary marvel, since they are largely unchanged from the found in fossils over 350 million years old. We just call them pests!

Cockroaches prefer dark moist areas and will eat almost anything. They are most commonly found in kitchens, hiding in cracks and crevices, under appliances and behind baseboards. Cockroaches are also one of the leading causes of allergies in the home and many homeowners that have them don’t even know they’ve got cockroaches in their home since they remain hidden unless they are feeding and are most active at night. The American and German cockroach are the two most common varieties in the Waukesha-Milwaukee metro area.
