There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience 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 though they generally live outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

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