Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few 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 produce in 6 months to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.
