American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as frequently as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being stored. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not create in 6 weeks to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas that are dim or no light in any respect and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or another pest problems, long term control programs are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout amongst the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent their access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets aren’t leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Keep deny or compost in sealed bins
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight
