There are currently over 4000 distinct types of cockroaches in existence. But only 3 of them are known to plague our home & work environments and cause issues. There are two or three different species that are comparative, but can be found in the home somewhat less frequently. Every cockroach has its own particular unique qualities & slightly varying things. In any case they are nothing but pests & can pose health risks to humans and pets alike.
