American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically 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 types that are known in Australia.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since 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 located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The man specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they can lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One amazing fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

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

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, quitting up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
