American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in 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 one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The male specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers for they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

In spite of their size, these cockroaches move incredibly fast, and can dart out underneath the entryways and into truly little cracks. They incline toward soggy, muggy zones, and normally reside in situations where temperatures are normal, at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, channels, enormous splits or niches around a structure establishments or underneath a structure. American cockroaches are foragers that lean toward organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
