American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often a standout amongst the most detested household bugs. They can cause a substantial commotion, particularly once you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on Earth. In Australia, There are six ordinary cockroach species that plague houses and establishments, one of which is the American cockroach.

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 though 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.

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

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