American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and can stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

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 can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

All cockroaches love to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means that 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, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs that you might have a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they usually roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light in any respect and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or during the day
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper dust and vary in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach develop, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they full adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules known as ootheca that encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or any other pest issues, long term management plans are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• 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
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Make sure dry and wet 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 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 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.
