American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most hated pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we envision contamination and the diseases that they could 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 that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outdoors.

They are fast concerning reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. If they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with numerous eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They pick damp, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovereddrains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that opt to consume for natural things.

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