American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most hated pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we envision contamination and the diseases they could spread among humans and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

One of the common family roaches that we experience 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 outside.

The man specie of the roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without reproduction, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you’ll most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg instances and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods such as leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your home, don’t delay in calling a professional and certified pest control company to come and attend to the problem without delay. The more you defer attending to the issue, the more the number of treatments necessary to eliminate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout amongst the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent their access to food and water:

• Ensure sinks are dry and faucets are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining clean 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
• 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 under pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by removing access to resting and breeding areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electric sockets.
