American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common household roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outside.

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.

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

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you may possess a cockroach infestation in your house:

• 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 during the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper and change in lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If infestation is large and can’t be coped by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest control expert in town. But, 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 eliminate their 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 utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep deny or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent 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 under pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide 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 electric sockets.
