How to get rid of Palmetto bugs
Palmetto bugs, also known as American cockroaches or waterbugs, are a large species of winged cockroaches. These roaches are reddish brown with a yellow spot on the head; they can grow to be about 1.6 inches in length and can move relatively quickly. Palmetto bugs are typically found in warm, humid climates since they are not fans of cold temperatures. They can be found in the Southern United States and in tropical climates, but they can also reside anywhere in the world since they commonly jump onto shipping cargo. Originally palmetto bugs were found in Africa but they are now established in the southeastern United States.
Palmetto bugs are the largest species of common cockroach and this is one of the reasons why they don’t usually nest or live in houses. Still, they do take refuge inside homes when it is cold out or if they make their way inside through sewer pipes, drain pipes, air ducts and the like.
