American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses 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 seen in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, 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 catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
