American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and can stir commotion especially when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

One of the common family roaches which we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outdoors.

The male specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers for they can lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One amazing fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

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

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

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 – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will attack natural Items inclusive of leather-based details and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt by you alone, call in the help 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

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.
