Cockroaches are 10mm to 23mm in length.
The cockroach is a very large insect compared to others so therefore it is easy to recognise. They are brown, sometimes black in colour with a glossy body. There are two types of cockroach in the U.K, the German cockroach which can swim, fly, climb flat surfaces and hide in any place they can find. The German cockroach prefers a moist and warm environment. Then there is the Oriental cockroach, although they have rapid speed they can not fly or climb flat surfaces. The Oriental cockroach prefers the environment of a heated building like flats/houses, restaurants and hotels.
Cockroaches are nocturnal so spend most of the day hiding, they are mainly visible at night almost certainly searching for food, they will feed on anything including faecal matter.
