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 houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. 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 months to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you may have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper and vary in lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

If you’ve seen any cockroaches in your home, do not postpone in calling a specialist and guaranteed pest control services to come and take care of the issue immediately. The more you allow the delay of taking care of the matter, the more treatments are required to eradicate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive steps you can do before calling assistance of the experts:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets aren’t leaking
• 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 debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• 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.
