Brown with two telltale stripes on the back of its head, German roaches are about 1\/2 inch long and prefer warm, humid environments. Unlike other home-invading cockroaches that also live outdoors or in sewers, German cockroaches live almost exclusively with humans. Typically seen in kitchens and bathrooms, these small roaches are extremely prolific, allowing infestations to expand quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <b>Oriental cockroaches<\/b> prefer dark, damp environments. Sometimes called water bugs, these roaches usually inhabit basements and crawl spaces. Oriental cockroaches are also sewer dwellers and may climb up floor drains to enter Ocean County, NJ homes. Shiny, black and one inch long, Oriental roaches also live outdoors in leaf litter and wood piles.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The largest and most aggressive cockroach in Monmouth County, NJ, the <b>American cockroach<\/b> can grow to a length of 2 inches.
