Important Considerations:
Where to Find Them on Your Property?
You can find these cockroaches outdoors under the bark of dead trees, under palmetto leaves, in loose litter, in woodpiles, or stumps of trees. Occasionally they can make their way into buildings or structures, but they only live for a short time. To prevent them, clean up yard debris, leaf litter, remove dead trees, stack firewood off the ground, and keep mulch to a minimum around your house or foundation.
