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 houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

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

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

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.
