American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you’ve flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because 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 located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that opt to consume for natural matters.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light in any respect and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Harm – these insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or any other pest issues, long term control programs are still the best.
