American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter 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 outside.

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 like 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 in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that 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 institutions, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.
