American Cockroaches

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

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

The male specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to one 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. Located in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through plumbing infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation in home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas which 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 go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge 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 food, they assault natural materials like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

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 problem soonest. The more you defer in attending to the issue, the greater the number of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measure you can do before calling help of the specialists:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets are not leaking
• 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
• Keep deny or mulch 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 business 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 openings where cockroaches can hide will help by removing 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 electrical sockets.
