Cockroaches are one of the most hated insects, especially when they are found inside homes.  Infestation can occur rapidly if not treated.  There are several different kinds of cockroaches, although the most common of these creepy critters is the German roach.  If you see one of these running about your home, you can bet the rest of the family is probably close by.
