There are yellow marking on the region behind the head. The immatures are uniformly dark brown and lack wings. The egg case is about 3/8 inch long and dark brown. BIOLOGY: ( Periplaneta americana ) This cockroach occurs outdoors and indoors, and often infests basements and sewer systems. These large cockroaches are capable of flying, but usually remain on the ground. The female produces an egg case every month for about 10 months; there are about 16 eggs per egg case. SOLUTION: Limiting the movement of these cockroaches from sewer systems to basements may be done with screens placed over drains. Sticky traps may help to locate infested sites.

Allpet Roaches' goals are to promote the hobby and provide information and photogaphs on all the incredible looking cockroach species available. Less than 1% of roach species are pests, 99%+ survive indoors only as pets. They require nurturing to survive but the care requirements are easier and less expensive than those of other pets.

They have specialized pads on the end of their legs which allows them to easily scale glass windows or walk on a ceiling.

Roaches are suspected carriers of numerous diseases and allergens. There has been a large amount of studies done that show that they can spread many pathogenic organisms.

One reason for this success may be related to diet--they are scavengers and will eat anything organic. They prefer food sources such as starches, sweets, grease and meat products, but other items may include cheese, beer, leather, glue, hair, starch in book bindings, flakes of dried skin or decaying organic matter (plant or animal). Cockroaches are attracted to warm, moist environments.

When cockroaches run over food they leave filth and may spread disease. They secrete an oily liquid that has an offensive and sickening odour that may ruin food. This door may also be imparted to dishes that are apparently clean. Excrement in the form of pellets or an ink-like liquid also contributes to this nauseating door.

Best of all, they like places where food is prepared or eaten. Cockroaches will eat almost anything. They will eat scraps of food from the floor and they will eat plants. They will eat paper or your leftover dinner. You don't see most cockroaches because they hide in the day and come out when it is dark. Breeding Sometimes you might find baby cockroaches in your house. The female lays between 20 and 40 eggs in a hard shell. She carries the shell until she can find a dark, damp place to hide it. Young cockroaches molt (lose their skin) for about seven months and then they are adults. Then they start breeding and they breed often. Cockroaches live for up to two years. Did you know? 1.

Some roaches spend part of their lives in water. There are roaches that live communally with ants, wasps, and termites. Other roaches live in bat caves. A few live in the desert.

But, a quick spray from an aerosol can won't result in long term control. Ingredients in most aerosol and "bomb" treatments repel roaches. After aerosols are sprayed, roaches avoid those sprayed areas. Using these products can cause the roaches to hide deeper inside walls and be more difficult to control later.

The females carry their developing embryos inside their abdomens to protect them from predators. They then "give birth" to live, young roaches that look a lot like their parents, except they are much smaller! Animals that carry their developing eggs internally are said to be ovoviviparous. This form of development probably leads to adaptive maternal effects on offspring. The newly hatched nymphs grow to weigh about as much as a mouse when fully grown. Drop by and see them!
