American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they reside on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is they are for the most part outside 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.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and may maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They pick 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 matters.

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 growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach issues, here are signs you can look for to assume their existence.

• 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 throughout the day
• 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 mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation would be to prevent their access to food and water:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves

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.

Sealing openings where cockroaches can hide 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.
