American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of 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 on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

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 can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being stored. At times, 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 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

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

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will attack natural Items inclusive of leather-based details and books
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach exude unpleasant odors in areas where they usually infest

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or any other pest problems, long term control plans are still the best.
