American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically 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 recorded and there are 6 common ones that are known in Australia.

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they reside on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outside cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a couple of days before being stored. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 weeks to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

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 also 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 will have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually 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 – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach grow, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including 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 issues, long term control programs are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps aren’t leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Sterile food debris from under refrigerators or stoves
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep refuse or mulch in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entrance into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry 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.

Sealing gaps 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.
