American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and can stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common household 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) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re 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.

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

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen during the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach grow, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca that encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including books and leather
• odor – established cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty smell

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or any other pest problems, long term management plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop eliminating access to food and water:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entrance into your household

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 outside or neighbouring properties.

Sealing openings wherein cockroaches can hide will assist with the help of eliminating getting proper of entrance to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide for the length of the day in cracks and crevices inside the partitions, round skirting forums or behind electrical powered sockets.
