American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not create in 6 weeks to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

All cockroaches like 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 management experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you’ll almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper dust and vary in lengths
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach exude unpleasant odors in areas where they generally infest

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• 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
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Expel 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 exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps 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.
