American Cockroaches

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

Cockroaches impose the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside on trees, the American cockroach inclines toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be found in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in beachfront Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical characteristic for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, located in beachfront lands.

They’re fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. If they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with numerous eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with the female cockroach is that without even mating, they can still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under 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 capture. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroach – roaches are nocturnal pests and they generally roam around at night or in areas which are dim or no light at all and they are less likely to be seen in well-lit areas or throughout the day
• 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 which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, 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
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your private home, do not 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 problem, the greater the number of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measures you can do before calling help of the experts:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Keep your food in air-tight containers and sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Clean all waste food and spillages immediately
• Clean food wastes from beneath refrigerators or stoves
• Take good care of soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry 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.

Fixing entry points going through your home or business property can help keep cockroaches from entering your property. They likely enter through holes under entryways or around funnels to the outside or neighbouring properties.
