American Cockroaches

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

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. 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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovered, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that opt to consume for natural matters.

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