American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are frequently a standout among the most detested household bugs. They can cause a significant commotion, particularly once you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, There are six normal cockroach species that plague houses and establishments, one of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "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) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for many 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 keep growing in 15 months.

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

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature

• Unpleasant odor -cockroach emit unpleasant odors in areas where they generally infest

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest management expert in town. But, there are also preventative steps 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 remove their access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free

• Make sure wet and dry 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 prevent contamination
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house resources 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 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.
