Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach

The Pennsylvania Wood cockroach is a common species of cockroach found in Eastern North America, and considered an occasional nuisance pest; in homes throughout Pennsylvania. It is widely distributed in the eastern, southern, and Midwestern states, and northward to Canada.

These unwanted pests pose the greatest risk to homeowners, when infested firewood is transferred indoors, or when the roach travels from wooded areas; that border the property. Feeding primarily on decaying organic matter, both the female (3/4 inch) and male (1 inch) Pennsylvania Wood cockroaches have been discovered by exterminators; under shingles and on the inside of garages.
