German Cockroach
Blattella germanica
The most common and troublesome cockroach species in Indian homes. Small (10-15mm), light brown with two dark parallel stripes behind the head. Prolific breeders — a single female and her offspring can produce 100,000+ descendants in a year. Thrives in warm, humid environments near food and water — typically kitchens and bathrooms.
