American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outside cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

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 damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 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.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that they are anything but hard to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe framework, building establishments, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.
