German cockroaches are known indoor cockroaches with a distribution that is worldwide. Adults are easily recognizable by their light brown or tan coloration with two black horizontal stripes located in the pronotum immediately behind the head and growing up to a length of 13-16 mm. The much smaller youngsters, or nymphs, are darker, almost black, also with black streaks behind their heads.

In homes, these insects are usually found in kitchens and bathrooms, but will to other parts of a house if food and moisture are available. In most cases, German cockroaches are introduced into a home or business when bags, boxes or cartons are introduced into the home. They can even be brought with used appliances. In multi-unit apartment buildings, German cockroaches can quickly move between units, using shared pipes as a road. During the day, these cockroaches can be found hidden behind base moldings, pictures, clocks, and in cracks around cabinets, cupboards or pantries, as well as inside and under stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers.
