It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business 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, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal regions.

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 continue to grow in 15 months.
