There are three types of cockroach in the UK, with the german cockroach (blattella germanica) being the most popular. Cockroaches are between 12-38mm in length depending on the species and are yellow and brown in colouring.

Cockroaches prefer warm, damp places such as bakeries and kitchens and can contaminate food with their excrement, give out an unpleasant odour, and many people can get allergic skin reactions to them. Cockroaches feed on scraps and debris and can reproduce at astonishing levels - a single female can produce up to 200 nymphs in a year.
