Northern Michigan Cockroaches

If you have seen bugs that look like cockroaches in Michigan, then you have probably found a wood cockroach. Wood cockroaches are the most common species of cockroach to be found in Michigan. The wood cockroach is also known as the coffin bug, due to the dark color on its abdomen and shape of the male genitalia. This species of cockroach is actually harmless to humans and can be considered a beneficial insect. Cockroaches are one of the most prevalent pests in Michigan homes. Homeowners regularly see them entering the home, or hear them inside the walls and attic. Cockroaches can sneak into the house through the smallest cracks, though for the most part, they prefer to make their way under doors or even enter through an open window. This makes roach prevention a must.

Northern Michigan Cockroaches

Introduction

There are many different types of cockroaches. They range in size, coloration, and habitat. Most are tropical, but some species have adapted to living in milder climates like those found in Northern Michigan.

Brown-banded cockroaches

Brown-banded cockroaches are a type of cockroach that is commonly found in the United States. They are small, with their bodies being about 1⁄4 inch in length, and they have two light bands on their bodies that create an appearance similar to the hourglass figure. This species tends to live outdoors under rocks or debris and can be found in secluded areas like sheds, garages and basements.

In comparison to other species of roaches in Michigan (like German roaches), brown-banded cockroaches do not pose a threat to humans because they do not carry disease nor do they feed on human food sources.

German cockroach

The German cockroach is one of the most common cockroaches in North America. It’s small, brown and has two dark stripes on its wings. German cockroaches prefer to live in warm, moist places such as bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. They often infest apartments with low-income families because they like to be in close proximity with humans.

German cockroaches can give you an allergic reaction if you come into contact with their feces or bodies.
