American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entrance in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined 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 moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

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

To know if you have roach issues, here are signs you can look to assume their presence.

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper dust and change in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest control expert in town. However, there are also preventive measures you can do to protect your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent eliminating access to food and water:

• Try to not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your food in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food debris from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Maintain refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your house or industrial assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

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