do american cockroaches live inside
American cockroaches are a âperidomestic species.â This means that they generally live outdoors. However, populations can also move indoors and live in human structures. American cockroaches usually live in warm, moist, humid environments but can survive in drier areas if they have access to water. The cockroaches prefer temperatures between 70Â°F and 85Â°F and will not survive if temperatures drop below 15Â°F.
