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 homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common household 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. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The male specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because 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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside 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 surroundings, 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:

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up throughout the day, you will probably observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen throughout the evening
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they attack 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 seen any cockroaches in your home, do not postpone in calling a specialist and guaranteed pest management services to come and look after the issue immediately. The more you allow the delay of taking care of the matter, the more treatments are required to eradicate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to remove 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 used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clear waste food, spillages and debri that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, refrigerators, drawers and cupboards
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and eliminate wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entry into your household
