Why Roaches Are a Problem
Roaches thrive in warm, humid environments and are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and other areas where food or moisture is present. Not only are they unsightly, but roaches can also contaminate food, damage property, and carry disease-causing organisms. Signs of a roach infestation include seen live roaches, shed skins, dark droppings, and a musty odor.

German Cockroach
Blattella germanica
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Small, light brown to tan roaches with two dark stripes behind the head. Most active at night. Commonly found inside kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, appliances, and wall voids.
WHY THEY’RE A PROBLEM
German roaches are indoor breeders and reproduce rapidly. They do not come from outside – once they’re in, they establish quickly and spread aggressively.
HOW WE TREAT THEM
Small, light brown to tan roaches with two dark stripes behind the head. Most active at night. Commonly found inside kitchens, bathrooms, cabinets, appliances, and wall voids.
American Cockroach
Periplaneta americana
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Very large, reddish-brown roaches, sometimes called “palmetto bugs.” Often found in garages, basements, mechanical rooms, and near drains. Have a yellow stripe along their shoulders.
WHY THEY’RE A PROBLEM
These roaches are strongly associated with moisture, plumbing, and structural entry points. Seeing them indoors often signals an underlying condition that needs correction.
HOW WE TREAT THEM
Control focuses on exterior treatments, moisture management, drain and entry-point correction, and exclusion, not just interior spraying.
Smokybrown Cockroach
Periplaneta fuliginosa
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Large roaches that are uniform dark brown to almost black. Common around porch lights, soffits, attics, and exterior walls.
WHY THEY’RE A PROBLEM
Extremely common in Alabama. Smokybrown roaches live outdoors first and invade indoors when conditions allow, especially during hot, humid weather.
HOW WE TREAT THEM
Long-term control requires exterior habitat reduction, perimeter treatments, attic and void protection, and light management, not just killing what you see inside.
Oriental Cockroach
Blatta orientalis
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Shiny, dark brown to black roaches that move slower than other species. Found in basements, crawlspaces, and near floor drains.
WHY THEY’RE A PROBLEM
Oriental roaches thrive in damp, low-lying environments and are often associated with moisture problems.
HOW WE TREAT THEM
Treatment focuses on moisture control, sanitation, crawlspace and drain management, and targeted ground-level applications.
Brown-Banded Cockroach
Supella longipalpa
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Smaller roaches with light-colored bands across the wings. Often found on walls, ceilings, furniture, closets, and electronics – not just kitchens.
WHY THEY’RE A PROBLEM
Brown-banded roaches hide high and spread throughout living spaces, making them easy to miss and hard to control with standard treatments.
HOW WE TREAT THEM
Successful control requires species-specific placement of baits and dusts in elevated and hidden areas, along with detailed inspection and follow-up.
The Canopy Difference
Roach control isn’t about how strong the chemical is; it’s about knowing exactly what you’re treating and why it’s there. Alabama homes face unique pest pressure, and effective solutions require more than a generic service plan.
If you’re seeing roaches and want answers – not guesswork – we’re here to help.
