American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 months to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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 surroundings where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches privately structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies they are anything but hard to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe framework, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.
