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.

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 found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

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.

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.

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 will possess a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• 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 that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent eliminating access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• 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 eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or business property can help prevent cockroaches from entering your property. Key risk areas are gaps under doors or around pipes to the exterior or neighbouring properties.
