American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches is the American cockroach or also called the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Usually, they live outdoors but may also gain entrance in buildings and household 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 such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.
