American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined 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 like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal regions of Australia.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
