American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of them, 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.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

They are fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with numerous eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with the female cockroach is that without even mating, they could still produce eggs with saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

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