American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

One of the common family roaches that 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) 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.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places like 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 also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces 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 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including books and leather
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or another pest issues, long term control plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop eliminating access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets are not leaking
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take good care of 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 entryways in the course of your house or industrial assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can hide 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.
