American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of them, we imagine contamination and the diseases they can spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

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

The male specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they can lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means that 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, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
