American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing that they are the most hated pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we imagine contamination and the diseases that they could spread among people and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

One of the common family roaches which 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) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can continue to grow in 15 months.

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

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation in 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 – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying dimensions
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than food, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

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

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:

• Try not to 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
• Clean food wastes from under refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate 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
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

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

Sealing openings where cockroaches can conceal will help by removing 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.
