American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outside.

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

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 frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• 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 – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper and change in lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than food, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest management expert in town. However, there are also preventative measures you can do to safeguard your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps aren’t leaking
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from under refrigerators or stoves
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps under doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by eliminating access to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electric sockets.
