American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common household 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 although 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. Sometimes, 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 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 management experts.

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in 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 leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying dimensions
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, don’t postpone in calling a skilled and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the number of treatments required to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop eliminating 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 utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Seal entry points you can see to stop 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 gaps 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.
