American Cockroaches

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

One of the common household roaches that we experience is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They pick moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovereddrains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural matters.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or stool lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they mature
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods like leather and books
• odor – established cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, do not postpone in calling a professional and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the problem 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

Among 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 dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your house or industrial 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 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.
