American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

American cockroaches is one of the biggest cockroaches that invade the house and industrial establishments to invade homes and industrial residences. Also called the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact that they live on timber, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed regions and can be located in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of houses. They could fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drain. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches and lived as well in coastal areas.

The male specie of the 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
