American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing that they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of them, we imagine contamination and the diseases that they can spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

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 though they generally live outdoors.

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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, 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 prefer organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
