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 houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common household roaches which 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 although they generally live outdoors.

The male specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could 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.

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

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products 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 control expert in town. But, there are also preventative measures you can do to protect your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive steps you can do before calling assistance of the experts:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• 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 entrance into your household

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.

Fixing entry points moving through your home or business property can keep cockroaches from entering your property. They likely enter through holes under entryways or around funnels to the outside or neighbouring properties.
