American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we scream. 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 that are known in Australia.

One of the common family roaches which we encounter 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 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 love to nestle in dark and humid places such as 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 problems, here are signs you can look for to assume their existence.

• Viewing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – roach droppings or stool are like black pepper dust and change in lengths
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – roaches leave behind egg capsules which encapsulate multiple eggs and as they grow, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods such as leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty smell

• Ensure sinks are dry and taps are not leaking
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use

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 underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by eliminating 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 electrical sockets.
