American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and business properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

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.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
