Cockroaches have been present on the earth for more than 400 million years. Approximately 4000-7500 species of cockroaches exist, but only a very small fraction of these species are considered pests (i.e., American, German, Oriental, brown-banded, smokybrown, and Asian).
Cooler weather is on the way. Although local temperatures are not low enough to eliminate insect populations, the changing climate will force many insects and rodents indoors in search of food and warmer temperatures, making them easier to control.
