American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you’ve flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and companies, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience 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 though they generally live outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal areas of Australia.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you’ll almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods such as leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

If you’ve seen any cockroaches on your home, do not postpone in calling an expert and guaranteed pest control services to come and take care of the issue immediately. The more you allow the delay of taking care of the matter, the more treatments are required to eradicate the pests.
