Cockroaches are one of the most common pests found across the world. They vary in size from medium to large and when you look at them from above, they are oval in shape. They have antennae and their legs make them fast runners and difficult to catch. Their heads are shielded beneath the pronotum and they have well compounded eyes and chewing mouthparts. Most species have wings but not all are well developed. They have a large abdomen which carries a pair of unusually prominent cerci.
Cockroaches are predominately found in tropical and subtropical areas. There are a number of different cockroach species. They spread across the world with the aid of commerce and they use built environments for food and shelter. Where nature may have intended for these cockroaches to die due to drastic weather changes, drought, etc., many urban environments provide year round warmth, food and shelter which can support thousands of cockroaches.
With cockroaches being well known as carriers of disease, they contaminate all areas with their droppings, discarded skin castings and the bodies of dead cockroaches.

The most common cockroach and mostly found on commercial food premises, is the German cockroach. They excrete a certain pheromone which attracts other cockroaches, so they always congregate in an area. They breed rapidly. They lay egg cases which contain about 40 eggs per case. They take only 40 days to reach maturity. One of these egg cases on a commercial property, can lead to 20, 000 cockroaches hatching within only one year.
These small to medium cockroaches are pale brown in colour with pale bands across their thorax and abdomen. An egg case contains up to 18 eggs. Hatched nymphs reach maturity within 2-4 months. They have a lifespan of around 6 months during which time a female produces up to 13 egg cases. This cockroach loves to be indoors, frequently infesting the dwelling parts of houses.
This medium sized cockroach is dark brown to black in colour. They reach adulthood in 6-18 months, depending on external circumstances. The adult lifespan, however, is only 3-6 months. They breed rapidly and a female may produce up to 14 egg casings during her lifespan. Because they prefer cooler conditions, they are usually found under leaf litter and bark. They can also be found in damp sub floors and around drainage systems.
The Australian cockroach is large, dark brown and has yellow markings on the pronotum & forewings. Their egg cases contain up to 24 eggs. Nymphs take 6-12 months to develop. During their adult life, which lasts about 8 months, a female produces up to 20 egg cases. Because they prefer to eat plants, one will find them in greenhouses and under bark and leaves in gardens. In houses they love to live in sub floor voids, wall voids and roof voids.
The American cockroach is large in size. It is reddish-brown in colour with a pale yellow border around the pronotum. Nymphal development may take 6-12 months. The adult lifespan is usually 6-12 months, during which females may produce up to 50 eggs. The American cockroach prefers warm, moist, dark conditions, so it prefers to live indoors in colder regions and outdoors in warmer climates.
This large, dark brown cockroach has an adult lifespan of up to 12 months. During this time a female will produce up to 20 egg cases which, once hatched, will take 6-12 months for nymphal development. The cockroach is found in roof voids, sub-floor areas, garages, sheds, grease traps and drains.
