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 houses and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths 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 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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.
