This roach is very similar to the American roach, but is smaller in size and is dark brown-mahogany, black in color.
Adults have well-developed wings that stretch to the tip of the abdomen.

Smokybrown Roach Habits:

The smoky brown is a tropical cockroach, thus more common in the southern United States. This species is occasionally shipped all over the U.S. on fruit or nursery stock.

They enter houses in the summer or hitchhike on firewood. Females lay a dark brown capsule that contains 24 eggs, hatching in one to two months. The young will become an adult in 10-12 months. This roach is not usually found in the Northern States unless they are brought in. However, in the Southern part of the country they are numerous. These roaches fly at night toward lights.

SmokyBrown Roach Control:

• Caulk all penetrations through ground level walls.
• Stop water leaks, screen equipment overflow drains, and take overflow water away from buildings; keep drain traps full or capped.
• Remove rotting leaves from window wells.
• Move garbage cans out of preferred moist habitat.
• Ventilate moist spaces.

Generally speaking, control measures should concentrate on the outside of the building and points of entry. This is called a "perimeter or barrier" treatment.

Use professional residual sprays such as :

1. D-Fense SC *Top recommendation
   Broader label and longer lasting-may be used inside or outside and will dry invisible. D-fense has no smell.
   
2. 
   Cyzmic CS Insecticide
   
   
   D Fense and Cyzmic will dry invisibly on dark surfaces. The wettable powders in Demon WP or Cyper WP residue may be seen against dark surfaces.
   
3. Cyper WP
   
   Cyper WP

Cyper WP and Demon WP have the same label, but you can get smaller amounts with the Demon WP


4. Demon WP
   Demon WP



You may use three residual sprays : Cyzmic CS , Cyper WP or Demon WP inside or outside

Spray outside around doors, windows, pipe openings, and dryer vents. Apply also on the inside on the baseboards near the entry pts.

On the inside-apply around the plumbing under the sinks and washer and dryer connections. You don't have to spray all the interior baseboards, just the corners and baseboards inside the garage and basement areas.

For additional treatment you may apply granulars around the base of the house, particularly in areas of pine straw and mulched areas.

Two recommended granulars are : *Top recommendation(longer lasting)Bifen LP or Wisdom Granulars

•  Bifen or Wisdom Granulars

If you have these larger cockroaches entering inside your home from the attic area (due to trees that overhang the attic or gutters that are not clean) using baits like Intice insect baits, would give you very good results.
Intice Bait

The residual insecticides : Cyzmic CS , Cyper WP, and Demon WP as well as the residual granulars: Bifen LP Granules should be repeated every three months during the season.

The Intice baits last from 6 months to a year, free from rain. Feel free to call if you have any questions.
