American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

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 outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. At times, 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.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches privately structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that 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 frame, building establishments, or underneath entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you will possess a cockroach infestation in your house:

• 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 throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Harm – these insects will attack on natural products including books and leather
• odor – established cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If infestation is large and can’t be coped by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest control expert in town. But, there are also preventive steps you can do to safeguard your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent eliminating access to food and water:

• Try to not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food debris from under refrigerators or stoves
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight

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 outside or neighbouring properties.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can hide will help by removing 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.
