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 among the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

The man specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One amazing fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal regions of Australia.

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