Characteristics of the American Roach
The American roach is a mahogany or reddish brown color. The area behind their head has a yellow band which identifies them from other roaches. The adult American roach can grow to 3 inches long. They are often called water bugs, flying water bugs or palmetto bugs. Both the male and female are able to fly. The female forms her eggs in what looks like a capsule and hides them in a warm, dark place. American roaches can run very fast and there is a peculiar musty odor called aggregation pheromone when a group of them have formed.
