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 in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Usually, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

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