American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often a standout among the most detested household bugs. They can cause a significant commotion, particularly once you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, There are six normal cockroach species that plague houses and establishments, one of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household 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 are inclined 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 fast, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

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