American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. 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 weeks to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They pick damp, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically founddrains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.

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 development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
