American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated 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 that are known in Australia.

American cockroaches is just one of the biggest cockroaches that invade the house and industrial establishments to invade houses and industrial residences. Also known as the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact they live on timber, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed regions and can be located in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and toilets of houses. They can fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drain. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches and dwelt as well in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can continue to grow in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes 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, constructing foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
