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 homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

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

The male specie of this 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 wonderful fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to one year.

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

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.
