Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They pick moist, humid areas, and normally live in surroundings in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovered, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that opt to consume for natural things.

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