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 on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

American cockroaches is one of the biggest cockroaches that invade the home and industrial institutions to invade homes and industrial residences. Also known as the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact that they live on wood, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed areas and can be located in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of houses. They can fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and regularly inhabits drain. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches and dwelt as well 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 are inclined 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 houses are unusual. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
