American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because 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 baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature 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. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal areas of Australia.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
