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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

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.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Viewing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will 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 capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach emit unpleasant odors in areas where they usually infest

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your home, don’t delay in calling a professional and certified pest control company to come and attend to the issue without delay. The more you defer attending to the matter, the more the number of treatments required to eliminate 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:

• Do 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
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entrance into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

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

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