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 on the planet. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common household roaches which 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 although they generally live outside.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. Sometimes, 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 annually, 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. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal areas of Australia.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that they are anything but difficult to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe frame, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• 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 feces are like black pepper and change in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach grow, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Additionally, the leave vacated egg capsules behind or known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than food, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop their access to food and water:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight
