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’s the American cockroach.

It is among the largest pest cockroaches to invade homes and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and baths of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. 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 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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 hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up during the day, you will likely observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen throughout the evening
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper and change in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods like leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to remove 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 debri which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or commercial 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 help keep cockroaches from entering your property. They likely enter through holes beneath entryways or around funnels to the outside or neighbouring properties.
