Florida Woods Cockroach (Eurycotis floridana)
A slow outdoor species, the Florida Woods cockroach can be found outside the home in woodpiles, sheds and gardens, usually in the Southeast. It's known for its a clear hardened back and color ranging from reddish-brown to nearly all black. Partially due to their larger size and lack of wings, the Florida Woods cockroach is slow to move and escape danger. They feast on decaying plant life and can potentially create problems in the yard.
Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach (Parcoblatta pensylvanica)
With color ranging from light brown nearly black, the Pennsylvania Wood cockroach is a common outdoor pest in the eastern United States and Central America. These roaches prefer to live outdoors in wood and leaf piles and other locations with decaying organic matter. However, they can be attracted to the light and food within the home, often hitching a ride in garbage and firewood. If bringing anything into the house, check first that this little critter isn't getting a free ride. Here are some chemical-free methods to get rid of cockroaches.
Asian Cockroach (Blattella asahinai)
Similar in appearance to the German cockroach, the Asian cockroach is a more recent inhabitant in the United States, invading homes since the 1980s. Indoor infestations from this cockroach are rarer since they are frequent fliers who spend most of their time outdoors. A landscaping roach, the Asian cockroaches are commonly found in mulch and leaf piles, gardens, and other places where organic matter is around.
