Difference between Australian and German Cockroach

There are many different types of cockroaches, but two of the most common are the Australian cockroach and German cockroach. These two types of roaches look very similar, but there are some distinct differences between them. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at these two types of cockroaches and discuss the differences between them. We will also provide tips on how to identify each type of roach.

German Cockroach


If you find cockroaches, you should contact the team at Newcastle Pest Exterminators. Australian and German cockroaches can be difficult to eliminate. We are highly experienced in identifying cockroaches and exterminating them.

The German Cockroach

German Cockroaches are a common type of cockroach in Australia. Interestingly, German cockroaches are found all over Australia but prefer warm climates and human habitation, such as homes or restaurants.
Appearance: The German Cockroach is usually a tan or dark brown colour with two black straps on their backs.
Size: They can grow 1.1 to 1.6 cm
Habits: These roaches will thrive in warm, moist environments, and they are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms.

The Australian Cockroach

Australian Cockroaches are common in Australia, but they can be found in many locations across the world. They often travel by hiding in ships between locations. Despite their name, the Australian cockroach is not native to Australia.
Appearance: The Australian Cockroach is brown, with a pale yellow stripe around its head.
Size: 23–35 mm long.
Habits: The Australian Cockroach prefer tropical and warmer climates. They tend to move inside when the weather is cold.
