American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of houses. 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, located in coastal regions.

The male specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers for they can 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 fast, and can maneuver beneath doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average at least 29 degrees.
