American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience 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 outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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