Which statement best describes the Florida woods roach's outdoor habitat?

• A. Found indoors only
• B. Commonly outdoors in sheltered locations such as stacked lumber, leaf litter, and firewood
• C. Prefers attic spaces
• D. Only near water

Answer: (C)

Florida woods roaches are outdoor dwellers that seek protected, damp microhabitats outside the home. They’re commonly found in sheltered outdoor spots like leaf litter, stacks of firewood, and piles of lumber where they can hide from sun and predators while keeping moist. This description best captures their usual habitat. Attic spaces describe an indoor environment, which isn’t their typical outdoor preference, and being near water isn’t a defining trait for them. So, the statement about them commonly existing outdoors in sheltered locations best fits their behavior and ecology.
