Also known as the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact they live on timber, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed areas and can be located in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and toilets of homes. They can fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and regularly inhabits drain. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches and dwelt as well in coastal areas.

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.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth.

Residual insecticides are effective.
