Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since 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 homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.
