American Cockroaches

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

One of the common household roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many 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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under 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 problems, here are signs you can look for to assume their presence.

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally 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 leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – established cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your private home, don’t postpone in calling a skilled and authorised pest control expert to go to and attend to the problem soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the amount of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps aren’t leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take care with 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
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household

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 underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps 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 electrical sockets.
