American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming at 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 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 outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) including as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they are 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 continue to grow in 15 months.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places like 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

To know if you have roach problems, here are signs you can look to assume their existence.

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas that are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Additionally, the leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca that encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach exude unpleasant odors in locations where they usually infest

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your private home, don’t postpone in calling a skilled and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the issue, the greater the number of treatments required to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout amongst the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop their access to food and water:

• Try to not 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 clean and mess-free
• Clean food debris from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure dry and wet 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 prevent contamination
• 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 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.
