American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you’ve flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not create in 6 weeks to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.
