American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species on the planet. 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 experience 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 although they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for many days before being deposited. Sometimes they are 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 extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They pick damp, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically found, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and surroundings, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.

• 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 grow
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods such as leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest management expert in town. However, there are also preventative measures you can do to safeguard your family and pets.

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.
