American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in 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’ because they reside 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 frequently as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outside cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. 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 a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They pick damp, humid areas, and normally live in surroundings in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.

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

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or business property can help prevent cockroaches from entering your property. Key risk areas are gaps under doors or around pipes to the outside or neighbouring properties.
