American Cockroaches

When 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 recorded and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also called the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the biggest cockroaches that is proven to invade homes and businesses. Usually, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The man 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 wonderful 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 into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

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

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 area 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 – 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 change in length
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they mature
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, do not postpone in calling a skilled and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the problem, the greater the amount of treatments required to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout amongst the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is 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 dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

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 outside or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by eliminating 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 electrical sockets.
