American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. 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 that they are for the most part outside cockroaches, located in beachfront territories.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being saved. Sometimes, these egg cases are cemented down and are usually grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 weeks to a year, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver beneath doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies that they are anything but difficult to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe frame, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent first infestations.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation in home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests 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 – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or another pest problems, long term management plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop eliminating access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight

• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Sterile food debris from under refrigerators or stoves
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight

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 conceal will help by removing 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.
