American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion particularly 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 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 man specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers for they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to one year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

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 that you might have a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will 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 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
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

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 eliminate their access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by removing 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.
