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 especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live 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 feature for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

They’re fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with numerous eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors 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 prefer organic matter.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies they are anything but hard to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe framework, building institutions, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to eliminate their access to food and water:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• 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 debri that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or business 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.
