American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

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.

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

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 pipes infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
