American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species that are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and are inclined to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas will help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the area for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach exude unpleasant odors in locations where they usually infest

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to eliminate their access to food and water:

• Don’t leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep refuse or mulch in sealed bins
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entrance into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house resources can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps under pipes or doorways 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 electric sockets.
