American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. 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 types which are known in Australia.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as frequently as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside territories.

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.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
