American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and companies, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches which 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 though they generally live outdoors.

They are fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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 that you might have a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper and vary in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If infestation is large and cannot be dealt by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest management expert in town. However, there are also preventative measures you can do to protect your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to prevent eliminating access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps aren’t leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance 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 outside or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can conceal will help by eliminating 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 electric sockets.
