Cockroaches will never stop trying to get into your home for food, water and shelter. And since they’re nocturnal creatures adept at hiding, an infestation can get out of hand before you ever realize they’re in your home.
SIZE:
The American cockroach measures about 1.5 inches in length, but can grow up to 2 inches long.
COLOR:
This cockroach has reddish brown wings, light, circular or figure eight markings on its thorax and a light colored band around the pronotum.
BEHAVIOR:
The American cockroach is the largest house infesting cockroach across the country. The males of this species have a high sensitivity to the female cockroach pheromone, also known as periplanone-B. This makes the males dedicated to increasing their ranks. Female American cockroaches can be very productive, producing a sack of 16 eggs after mating. Without mating again, the female roach, which has a lifespan of about a year, can continue to produce egg sacks, or oothecae, using saved s***m.
In ideal circumstances, a female can produce an egg sack every six days, although she has the capacity to produce up to two in one week. Presumably to protect her young, a female American roach will glue her egg sack in closed-off hiding spots and attempt to camouflage it by scraping up paint and cardboard and covering the sack. On average, a female-American-cockroach will produce six to 14 egg capsules in her lifetime. Under perfect conditions, such as those in a laboratory, she could produce up to 22 egg sacks that’s over 336 nymphs. Once ready to break free, nymphs in the ootheca put up a synchronized effort to break through the sack.
The average lifespan of an American cockroach from egg to adult is anywhere from 168 to 786 days. After reaching adulthood, a female can live anywhere from 90 to 706 days and a male anywhere from 90 to 362 days.
