American Cockroaches

When we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, mechanically we shout. Cockroaches are the most despised pests and can stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches listed and there are 6 common ones which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches which we experience is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses though they generally live outdoors.

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.

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

So if you suspect cockroach infestation in your household and surroundings, take immediate action by calling the nearest pest control experts.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• 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 during the day
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they assault natural materials such as 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 issues, long term management programs are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

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

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear utilised dishes and cutlery immediately
