American Cockroaches

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

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found 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 characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas that 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 – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they’re usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in 1 area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop 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
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• 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
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or commercial 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 openings where cockroaches can hide will help by removing 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.
