Types Of Cockroach In The UK
There are several different cockroach species found in the UK.
The most common two are Oriental Cockroaches and German Cockroaches, but there are several other types that live in this county, including:
- German Cockroaches: The most common species of cockroach in the UK is the German Cockroach, a small, versatile insect. German Cockroaches fly and swim and are small enough to hide in incredibly inaccessible places.
- Oriental Cockroaches: The Oriental Cockroach is dark black or brown in colour and loves cool, damp areas. These roaches are a health concern because they love to feed on garbage and decaying things. They are also capable of living outside.
- American Cockroaches: The American Cockroach is often found in basements and kitchens, but they often prefer to breed outdoors and live on trees. The largest type of cockroach, these bugs have wings but can only fly a short distance.
- Brown Banded Cockroaches: One of the smallest species on 10-15mm length, the Brown Banded Cockroach isn’t common in the UK. Usually stay on the ground; however, they have the ability to fly in warmer climates.

Signs Of A Cockroach Infestation
Due to their size, a cockroach infestation is usually relatively easy to notice. Signs of a cockroach problem can be identified by physical evidence such as:
- Cockroach Droppings: Droppings from cockroaches are small and dark brown. They often look like coffee grounds or black pepper and will usually be found near a food source, such as in cupboards or on counters.
- A Musty Smell: Urine and droppings from cockroaches produce a distinctive sour smell, which is a sign of a major infestation.
- Smear Marks: In damp areas, you might see smear marks, which are liquid droppings that become greasy in a humid environment. This disgusting sight is a key sign that you need professional cockroach control.
- Shed Skins: Cockroaches regularly shed their skins, so you might notice small, translucent versions of the bugs in your space.
- Cockroach Eggs: Kept in a hard case known as an ootheca, cockroach eggs look like hard brown pellets.
- Damage: They might be small, but cockroaches can cause damage by chewing through food packaging.
- Sightings: Seeing cockroaches in kitchens, laundry rooms, drains, roof voids, or damp basements is a sure sign of an infestation.
If you spot any of these signs or are unsure about what kind of insect pest you’re dealing with, call our cockroach control experts on 01388 309345. summer and will attack in numbers if you disturb the nest.
