How to Identify Florida Wood Cockroaches
At first glance, this species appears to be wingless; however, the Florida wood cockroach does have very short wings just beneath its head. The wings form short leathery pads which barely meet on the midline of the body and do not extend to cover any portion of the abdomen. Adults roaches can live for more than one year.
Florida Wood Cockroach Behavior
Compared to other roaches, the Florida wood cockroach is relatively slow moving and not quick to run away from disturbance. This could be due to its large size or lack of urgency it feels due to the presence of defensive chemicals. When disturbed, Florida wood cockroaches often emit a strong, displeasing odor, which leads to its name as the "stinking cockroach."

With millions of people suffering from allergy symptoms, roach allergies are not often top of mind when compared to the more common triggers such as dust mites or pollen. A stubborn indoor allergen (a substance that causes an allergic reaction), roaches are difficult to get rid of entirely, even in the cleanliest home. Not just a residential problem, roaches can find their way into offices, restaurants, and in some of the more dangerous cases, schools. If left untreated, they can cause long term health problems and exacerbate already existing conditions such as asthma, the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15. Although emphasis should be placed on treating and eliminating live roaches, it is also important to pay close attention to the removal of dead roaches. Over time, the deterioration of their cast skins can create allergens.
