There are over 3,500 species of cockroaches in the world! There are only four species that live and breed in our homes and work places. These four are the German, Brown banded, Oriental and American cockroach. Cockroaches live in dwellings in all ethnic groups and all economic classes of people. Cockroaches are often brought into non-infested residences through hitchhiking, examples are: in egg cartons, soft drink cartons, bags of potatoes, beer cases, or even through used furniture or appliances.
There are about 2000 known species of termites throughout the world. In the U.S., Subterranean Termites, including Eastern, Western, Desert and Formosans, which build underground nests, are a concern in every state except Alaska. Subterranean termites are extremely destructive, because they tunnel their way to wooden structures (like your home), into which they burrow to obtain food. Termites all share a virtually insatiable appetite for wood and other cellulose-containing materials. Given enough time, they will feed on the wood until nothing is left but a shell.
