The methods used to destroy an American cockroach may not work to destroy a Brown-Banded cockroach. It is imperative to correctly identify which species you are trying to exterminate. There are 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 that are associated with human habitats. Stepping Stones Children’s Center only wants to read Cockroach Party, not really have one. For help with both cockroach identification and extermination, contact a Star pest control professional.
