American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

American cockroaches is one of the biggest cockroaches that invade the house and industrial institutions to invade homes and industrial residences. Also called the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact they live on timber, the American cockroach prefers humid, dark and undisturbed areas and can be located in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and toilets of homes. They could fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drain. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches and dwelt as well in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they are cemented down and have a tendency to be grouped. It hatches in 1 – 2 months. Nymphs typically develop in 6 -12 months, however, it can continue to grow in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver beneath doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, big 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 uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are signs which you can check if you have a cockroach infestation in home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they are hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to consume organic goods like leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

Short-term solutions will do no good and less powerful, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or any other pest problems, long term control programs are still the best.
