American Cockroaches

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

One of the common household roaches which 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 although they generally live outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance 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 continue to grow in 15 months.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

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

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 that 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 go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Additionally, the leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including books and leather
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your home, do not delay in calling a skilled and certified pest control company to come and attend to the issue without delay. The more you defer attending to the matter, the more the number of treatments necessary to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps 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
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• 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 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.

Fixing entry points going through your home or business property can keep cockroaches from entering your property. They probably enter through holes under entryways or around funnels to the outside or neighbouring properties.
