American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we envision contamination and the diseases they can spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

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 additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

To know if you have roach issues, here are signs you can look for to assume their presence.

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the area for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they are hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg instances and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods such as leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop eliminating access to food and water:

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.
