American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront lands.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.
