Pest Organisms / Oriental Cockroach
Overview
The Oriental cockroach is the big, dark, sluggish roach that turns up around basement drains and damp foundations — the so-called "waterbug" that gives a leaky pipe away faster than any plumber.

This moisture-loving species lives both outdoors and in. It is a real household pest across much of the country, but its strong tie to dampness means a moisture problem usually comes with it. Source: https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/g7384 Source: https://ask.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN316
