Brownbanded
Cockroaches
This cockroach is very small and can often
infest inside buildings. Unlike German cockroach that infests kitchens and
food handling areas, the Brownbanded cockroach will
infest all areas of a building. This cockroach prefers warm condition and can
often be found around warm appliances like radios and televisions. Because
they prefer the warmer conditions they are not found to infest apartments and
homes that have air conditioners as much as those that don’t. They have wings
and can fly. They are often pale brown in colour
with two brown banded across their wings.
They prefer to eat starchy foods, which is why they can often be found
in offices and other place that store paper. Because of the fact that they
may infest entire building it can make them difficult to control. Stewarts
can organize a maintenance program for your property to treat any species of
cockroach. Breeding The female glues the egg cases to surfaces.
One egg case may contain up to eighteen eggs and can take a couple of weeks
to hatch. The egg cases are generally glued in dark places like under
furniture and in closets. A female and her offspring can produce up to six
hundred cockroaches in one year. American
