American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming at 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 every of that is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter 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 though they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being saved. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 months to annually, 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 outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means that 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, constructing 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 Issues, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in 1 area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than food, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If infestation is large and cannot be coped by you alone, call in the support of the nearest pest control expert in town. However, there are also preventive steps you can do to safeguard your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking

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 gaps where cockroaches can hide 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 electric sockets.
