American Cockroaches

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

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that 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 under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.
