Australian Roaches

Have a Roach Problem?

Australian Cockroach Facts

  • Size: 1-1/4 inches long
  • Appearance: The antennae are long and the legs are spiky. The Australian cockroach can be distinguished by prominent yellow stripes along the outer front edge of either wing and by a prominent dark spot in the center of the head.
  • Colloquially called: “palmetto bugs.”
  • Color: Reddish-brown

How to Identify Australian Cockroach

The Australian cockroach is a relatively large species and is similar in appearance to the American cockroach. They are mainly found outdoors and are often referred to as "palmetto bugs." The name is misleading, as they are an introduced species from Asia.

Australian Cockroach Behavior

Australian cockroaches are very mobile, travel quickly, and may dart out of sight into small cracks and crevices when humans enter a room. This roach is also an adequate flier. This roach is primarily an outdoor pest, feeding upon plant and decaying organic matter. If it invades a structure it will feed upon varieties of starchy materials. It is commonly found around urban and suburban areas, and often seen in and around homes and gardens.

With millions of people suffering from allergy symptoms, roach allergies are not often top of mind when compared to the more common triggers such as dust mites or pollen. A stubborn indoor allergen (a substance that causes an allergic reaction), roaches are difficult to get rid of entirely, even in the cleanliest home. Not just a residential problem, roaches can find their way into offices, restaurants, and in some of the more dangerous cases, schools. If left untreated, they can cause long term health problems and exacerbate already existing conditions such as asthma, the third leading cause of hospitalization among children under the age of 15. Although emphasis should be placed on treating and eliminating live roaches, it is also important to pay close attention to the removal of dead roaches. Over time, the deterioration of their cast skins can create allergens.
