American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and can stir commotion especially 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 homes and commercial properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ because they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be seen 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 characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal regions.

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.

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

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and surroundings, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest management experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach issues, here are signs you can look to assume their existence.

• Viewing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you’ll almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying dimensions
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including books and leather
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

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 problem soonest. The more you defer in attending to the issue, the greater the amount of treatments required to dispose of the pests.
