American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once 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 houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms 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.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.
