American Cockroaches

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

American cockroaches is one of the largest cockroaches that invade the house and industrial establishments to invade homes and industrial residences. Also called the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact that they live on wood, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed areas and can be located in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. They could fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and regularly inhabits drain. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches and lived as well in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 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 a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large 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 growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
