American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing that they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of them, we imagine contamination and the diseases that they could spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal regions.

The male specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they can lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to one year.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
