American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming at 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.

One of the common family roaches which we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

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

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

• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they mature
