American Cockroaches

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

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

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

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal regions of Australia.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development.

Residual pesticides are effective.
