American Cockroach
American cockroaches usually dwell in basements, damp sewers, heating ducts, condo base floors. They have an incredibly unpleasant odour and can damage wallpaper, clothing, books and taint food.
APPERANCE
Some American cockroaches may look a little different but most of them have a similar body type.
To the untrained eye is hard to distinguish females and males apart because they are approximately the same length.
American cockroaches develop wings and that is how if closely examined gender can be determined because male’s wings are longer and reach their stomach.
The body of American cockroaches is oval and flat, have antennae and their legs are long and spiny.
HABITS & LIFECYCLE
American cockroaches eat decaying matter and usually live in moist and dark areas such as plumbing, sewers, hampers for clothes, bathrooms, boiler rooms and steam tunnels. Many like food that is fermenting and decaying but any starch will do, for example, book bindings. During the daylight hours cockroaches hide in dark hidden places and during the night they look for food. If they are seen by humans or other animals, they will try to run away.
DETECTION
One way to see if there are American cockroaches present is by closely examining the business or condo at night using a flashlight, as American cockroaches usually only come out at night.
Detecting cockroaches in the daytime can be extremely difficult because they often hide in places humans can never get to or see.
