American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and can stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches which we encounter 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.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches privately 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 framework, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.
