American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as frequently as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outside cockroaches, located in beachfront lands.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you’ll most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in 1 area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your home, do not delay in calling a skilled and certified pest control company to come and attend to the issue without delay. The more you defer attending to the matter, the greater the number of treatments necessary to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent their access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry points throughout your home or business property can help prevent cockroaches from entering your property. Key risk areas are gaps under doors or around pipes to the outside or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can conceal will help by eliminating access to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electrical sockets.
