American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches that we experience 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 outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several 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 keep growing in 15 months.

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently 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

The following are signs that you will have a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper and vary in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measures you can do before calling assistance of the experts:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• 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 that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entrance into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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.

Sealing openings 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.
