Australian Cockroaches
Periplaneta Australasiae
Australian cockroaches are similar in appearance to the American cockroach, but they are slightly smaller, have a yellow margin on the thorax, and yellow stripes along the top edge of the forewings.
The adults are 1 ¼ inch long. Both sexes have well developed wings that cover the abdomen and can fly. Females drop the egg capsules in protected areas right after they are formed. The capsules are not glued to surfaces. Each capsule contains 24 eggs that hatch 30 days after the capsule is dropped. Every 10 days a new egg capsule is dropped. The Australian cockroach nymphs have noticeable yellow markings on the dorsal side of the abdomen.
Australian cockroaches share similar habitats to the American cockroach but are less tolerant of cold. For this reason, they are more common in tropical areas like Florida. The Australian cockroach is also a peridomestic species so they will adapt to any environment that provides adequate heat, humidity, and food supply. In northern states Australian cockroaches have been found in large institutional buildings, greenhouses, zoo buildings, and steam tunnel system.
Our house was invaded by ants. They were everywhere, even in my wife’s laptop, hundreds of them were coming out daily. So we decided to call Gotbugsikill, Juan showed up to our house and he explained to us why, what kind of ants and how he will treat them. Without hesitation, we gave it a try. He told us that the first few days after he puts the chemical, we will see an increase of ants and will slowly disappear. We did. We saw ants like we’ve never seen before but majority of them were dead. After a few days, we saw improvement. Laptop no longer have ants. Week by week, slowly disappeared. Haven’t seen them for awhile. Juan still calls us and checks on us most of the time. Overall great guy to have around when problem like these occurs. He even let us know that he was going away for a few weeks but he made sure to check on the Ant situation before he left, then checked back on us when he came back. I would recommend GOTBUGSIKILL to anyone that’s having these kind of problem.
