American Cockroaches This cockroach is one of the largest, most
commonly found, domestic cockroaches. They have two large wings, a reddish brown-brown
or mahogany colour and can generally be found out doors. They are more of a
problem in the warmer months when they are most likely to fly. Even though
they prefer to live outside they can still inhabit walls, subfloors and
roof voids. They may also be found around drains, sewers, rubbish dumps, as
well as domestic and commercial properties. They prefer to eat organic
matter but may eat food scraps, book bindings, paper and clothes. Breeding The female cockroach carries the egg case
around with it for about 6 days. Then she cements it to a protected surface
where it can take up to two months to hatch. Each egg case can contain up
to sixteen eggs. An adult lifespan is between 6-12 months and a female can
produce up to fifty egg cases in this time. A female and her offspring can
produce up to eight hundred cockroaches a year.
