American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes 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 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 are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places such as 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.

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

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation in 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 – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach grow, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Additionally, the leave vacated egg capsules behind or known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods like leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, do not postpone in calling a professional and authorised pest control expert to go to and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the number of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used 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
• Maintain refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entrance into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your house or industrial assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can hide will help by removing access to breeding and resting areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electrical sockets.
