American Cockroaches

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

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found 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 keep growing in 15 months.

Notwithstanding their size, these cockroaches move incredibly fast, and can dart out beneath the entryways and into truly little cracks. They incline toward soggy, muggy zones, and normally live in situations where temperatures are normal, at least 29 levels. Found in sewers, channels, enormous splits or niches around a structure institutions or under a structure. American cockroaches are foragers that lean toward organic matter.

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

• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow
