American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches that 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 outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. 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 produce in 6 months to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in surroundings in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovered, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural matters.

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 growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, quitting up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen during the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper and change in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Additionally, the leave vacated egg capsules behind or known as ootheca that encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than food, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

If infestation is large and cannot be coped by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest control expert in town. However, there are also preventative steps you can do to protect your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Try to not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight

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 exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can conceal will help by removing 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 electrical sockets.
