The varieties common to domestic infestation include:
American cockroach. Sometimes called a palmetto bug, these may grow up to 40mm in length and have wings, though not all fly. They are adapted through special pads to scuttle up walls and ceilings as well as across the floor. They are brown, flat and oval in shape, with faces that may appear to be wearing sunglasses. Termites are scavengers that like woodpiles, mulch, damp places and all organic food sources.
German cockroach. These are smaller at 13-16mm, and prefer indoor spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms.
Oriental cockroach. These insects are generally large and black. They typically breed outdoors.
