American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing that they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we envision contamination and the diseases they can spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outside.

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 wonderful 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. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal regions of Australia.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
