American Cockroaches

When we think of them, we envision contamination and the diseases they can spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

American cockroaches is one of the biggest cockroaches that invade the home and industrial establishments to invade houses and industrial residences. Also known as the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact they live on wood, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed regions and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and toilets of homes. They could fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and regularly inhabits drain. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches and lived as well in coastal areas.

The man specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big 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 control experts.

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas that are dim or no light in any respect and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they’re usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to prevent eliminating 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 dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• 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
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance 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 outside or neighbouring properties.
