American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing that they are the most hated pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we imagine contamination and the diseases they could spread among people and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being stored. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not create in 6 months to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Notwithstanding their size, these cockroaches move amazingly fast, and can dart out underneath the entryways and into truly little cracks. They incline toward soggy, muggy zones, and normally reside in circumstances where temperatures are normal, at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, channels, enormous splits or niches around a structure establishments or under a structure. American cockroaches are foragers that lean toward organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
