American Cockroaches

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

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses 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 houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

They are fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with the female cockroach is that without even mating, they could still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal regions of Australia.

Their inclination for warm temperatures additionally moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe framework, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent first infestations.
