American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also called the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

They’re fast concerning reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. If they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs with saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 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 frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, quitting up these areas can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
