American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when 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.

One of the common family roaches that we encounter is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is known as "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outdoors.

They’re 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 the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 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 surroundings 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.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes 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 pipes infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you may possess a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout 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 capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they attack natural materials such as leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty odor

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, don’t postpone in calling a professional and authorised pest control expert to visit and attend to the issue soonest. The more you defer in attending to the issue, the greater the amount of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measures you can do before calling help of the experts:

• Try to not 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
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your house or industrial assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps underneath pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can conceal 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.
