Pest Organisms / Brown-banded Cockroach
Overview
The brown-banded cockroach (*Supella longipalpa*) is a small indoor roach that, unlike most relatives, favors dry, warm, high spots and scatters all over a home instead of staying under the kitchen sink. If the roaches keep turning up behind the TV rather than in the cabinet, this is the likely culprit — it clearly read a different rulebook than the rest of its family.
