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 them, we envision 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.

One of the common household roaches which we experience 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 outdoors.

The male specie of this 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 reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.
