Nassau County Property Owners' Complete Guide To Cockroach Identification & Control
There are more than 900 thousand described insect species in the world. Out of all those species, under 5,000 of them are cockroach species. Out of those, only about 69 species can be found in the United States. While we can't provide a statistic for how many cockroach species can be found in New York state or Nassau county, we can tell you that there are only four species that we commonly find inside homes and businesses. That is definitely great news because cockroaches are dirty insects that can spread diseases and cause illness. Here's what you need to know most about these four cockroach species.

Cockroach-Related Illness
All of these cockroaches spread illness. They can cause food poisoning, contaminate surfaces, spread parasitic worms, and aggravate asthma symptoms. One of the most important aspects of cockroach control is the prevention of illness.
- Put your stored foods in sealed containers. Cockroaches can chew through paper and cardboard.
- Keep your home as clean as possible; this includes deep cleaning in tight spaces.
- Keep litter boxes cleaned out.
