Although there are around 450 species of cockroach in Australia, the worst of the bunch—by far—is the German cockroach. These nasty little critters breed at a frenetic pace, with females producing 1 egg purse, containing 30-50 eggs, every 6 weeks. In just over 100 days, those barely visible babes will blossom into fully grown, egg-producing adults. Because they are so adept at hiding out during the day, you may not notice that your kitchen is home to several cockroach colonies until their numbers have exploded out of control.
