German roaches are small, light brown to tan insects known for their prolific breeding and rapid population growth. These nocturnal pests prefer warm, humid environments and are commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas with access to food and water. Look for droppings, egg cases (oothecae), and a musty odor as signs of German roach infestation. Effective control of German roaches often requires a combination of sanitation, habitat modification, and targeted insecticide treatments.
