American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one in each of that is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outside cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being stored. 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 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 regions of Australia.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will likely see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or stool lay on areas where they’re usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or any other pest problems, long term control plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent eliminating 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
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• 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
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight
