American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Usually, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 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 areas of Australia.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that they are anything but difficult to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe frame, building institutions, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent first infestations.
