American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront lands.

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.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places such as 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 rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
