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 in 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 is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entrance in buildings and household areas.

They’re fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings 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.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas which 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 leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

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