American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

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

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest management experts.
