American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we scream. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types that are known in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, basements, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal 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 are inclined to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs usually develop in 6 -12 months, but it can take up to 15 months.

The American cockroach loves 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.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes 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, stopping up 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 house:

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – roach droppings or feces are like black pepper dust and change in lengths
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including books and leather
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your private 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

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop their access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clean food wastes from under refrigerators or stoves
• 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
• Seal entry points you can see to prevent the roaches gaining entrance 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 exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide 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.
