American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re 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 extremely fast, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches privately structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies they are anything but difficult to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe framework, building institutions, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.
