The real facts are there is no such thing as a Palmetto Bug.  The American cockroach is the first to be labeled a Palmetto Bug.  The American Roach is the largest of the common roach species at about 1 1/2 inches long, reddish brown in color, with fully developed wings.  This large bug seldom flies but is capable of gliding long distances.  Each female American Roach can develop an egg capsule of 15 eggs every week.

Another villain, recently, to be named the Palmetto Bug is the Australian Cockroach.  This roach is similar in appearance, size, and color.  This startling pest has distinguished yellow military type lieutenant strips along the outer front of either wing. This strong flier has a prominent bat shaped dark spot in the center of the pronotum, the area just behind the head.  This Australian Roach can develop an egg capsule with 15 eggs every 10 days.

Both the American and the Australian Roach are primary outside pests.  During periods of cold, extreme hot and dry weather, or excessive rainfall they will try to enter buildings foraging for food.  Both are found living outdoors in landscape, tree trucks, under rocks, around drainpipes, and any place moisture and shelter will protect them.
