American Cockroaches

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

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. At times, 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 weeks to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up throughout the day, you will probably observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen during the evening
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying dimensions
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Harm – these insects will attack on natural products including books and leather
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If infestation is large and cannot be coped by you alone, call in the support of the nearest pest control expert in town. But, there are also preventive steps you can do to protect your family and pets.
