American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but can also gain entrance 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 tend 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 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 areas of Australia.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach Issues, here are tell-tale signs you can check on your home:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up throughout the day, you will likely observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen throughout the evening
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop their access to food and water:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight

• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from under refrigerators or stoves

• 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.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can conceal will help by eliminating access to breeding and resting areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electrical sockets.
