American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you’ve flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outside.

They are fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs with saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

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 often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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