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 that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

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

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re 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 keep growing in 15 months.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal areas of Australia.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation at home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light in any respect and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than food, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your home, don’t delay in calling a professional and certified pest control company to come and attend to the problem without delay. The more you defer attending to the matter, the more 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 remove their access to food and water:

• Try to 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, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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 exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by removing access to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electrical sockets.
