American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are frequently a standout among the most detested household bugs. They can cause a substantial commotion, particularly once you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on Earth. In Australia, There are six ordinary cockroach species that plague homes and establishments, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also called 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 bathrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal regions.

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

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth.

Residual insecticides are effective.
