American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly 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 family roaches which 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 outdoors.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large 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 environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest management experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg instances and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop
• Harm – these insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach emit unpleasant odors in locations where they usually infest

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measures you can do before calling help of the specialists:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets aren’t leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri that 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 prevent contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance 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.
