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 houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid 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.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. 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 can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
