American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of 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 in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since 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 baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few 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 create in 6 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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

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