American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. 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 ones that are known in Australia.

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can keep growing in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in environments in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovered, drains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that choose to consume for natural things.

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

Below are signs which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up during the day, you will probably observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen during the evening
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules behind or known as ootheca which encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or another pest issues, long term management plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive step you can do before calling help of the experts:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your meals in air-tight containers and 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
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

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