American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we imagine contamination and the diseases they could 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 household roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

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