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 encounter 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 though they generally live outdoors.

The male specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they can lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One amazing 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 extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural matters.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, quitting up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check on your home:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up throughout the day, you will likely observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen during the evening
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg instances and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your private home, do not postpone in calling a professional and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the problem soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the number of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to eliminate their 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 dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate 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
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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 openings where cockroaches can hide 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.
