American Cockroaches

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

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are 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 continue to grow in 15 months.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas that are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper dust and vary in lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

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

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches
