American Cockroaches

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

One of the common household roaches which we experience 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 though they generally live outdoors.

The man specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers for they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One amazing fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to one year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.

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

The following are signs that you may possess a cockroach infestation in your 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 – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell
