American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often among the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially once you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague houses and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Usually, they live outdoors but can also gain entry in buildings and household areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs are carried by the female for several days before being deposited. Sometimes cemented down and tend 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 like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be frequently inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will likely see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• 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
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, rancid odor

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Among the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to stop eliminating access to food and water:

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entry points throughout your home or commercial 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.
