There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside territories.

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 such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.
