American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial 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, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. 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, located in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend 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 extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

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 not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your food in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Sterile food debris 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
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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.

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 electric sockets.
