American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside 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 found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

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 beneath doors, quitting up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
