Habitat:
The Cuban cockroach, also called the green banana cockroach, is an outdoor tropical species. They can be found in woodpiles, shrubbery, trees, and plant leaves. Nymphs can be found in leaf litter and debris. Cuban roach encounters are likely to occur in homes in rural, wooded areas.
Control:
Since Cuban cockroaches are attracted to light and are also good fliers, keeping outdoor lights off when not in use, as well as using lower-wattage light bulbs, may help to discourage their presence. Scattering wood, lumber and leaf or debris piles will also keep this, and many other, cockroach species from nesting.
