American Cockroach Control
Dee Why

American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not create in 6 months to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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

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 that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally 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 and change in lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than food, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your private home, don’t postpone in calling a skilled and authorised pest control expert to go to and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the amount of treatments required to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to eliminate their access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food debris from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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 exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing openings 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 electrical sockets.
