Behavior 

Brown-banded cockroaches are known for their preference for warm environments and can be found away from moisture sources unlike other cockroach species. They are also capable of flying, especially the males, which increases their spread throughout a property. These roaches are nocturnal and avoid light, making them a secretive pest that can be difficult to detect early.

Threats 

While brown-banded cockroaches may not be as prolific as some species, they still pose significant health risks by spreading germs and pathogens across surfaces in a home or business. Their droppings and shed skin can aggravate allergies and asthma, especially in children and sensitive individuals.
