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 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 family roaches that 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 ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid 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 continue to grow in 15 months.

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

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests and they scavenge around the area for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in 1 area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your private home, don’t postpone in calling a skilled 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

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop eliminating access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Maintain refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your house or industrial assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.

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.
