American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

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

They are fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they are able to produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal regions of Australia.

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and environment, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they’re usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• 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
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If infestation is large and can’t be dealt 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 protect your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to eliminate their access to food and water:

• Try to not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food debris from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• 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 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 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.
