American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common household 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 ootheca (egg case) including 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 continue to grow in 15 months.

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

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined 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

The following are signs that you may possess a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas that are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper dust and vary in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will strike natural Items inclusive of leather-based details and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your home, do not delay in calling a professional and certified pest control company to come and attend to the issue without delay. The more you defer attending to the matter, the more the number of treatments necessary to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop eliminating 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
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Maintain refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry points throughout your home or commercial 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.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can conceal will help by eliminating access to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electric sockets.
