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 on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is one of 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 seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance 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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that they are anything but hard to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures additionally moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe frame, building institutions, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent first infestations.
