American Cockroaches

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

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 though they generally live outdoors.

They are 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 multiple eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they could still produce eggs using saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential houses are unusual. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up those areas can help manipulate preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably 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 cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop

If you have noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, do not postpone in calling a skilled 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 amount of treatments required to dispose of the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

A standout among the best methods for controlling a cockroach infestation is to stop their access to food and water:

• Do not 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
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Make sure dry and wet rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• Keep refuse or compost in sealed bins
• Expel pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house assets can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps under doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can hide will help by eliminating access to breeding and resting areas. Cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day in cracks and crevices in the walls, around skirting boards or behind electrical sockets.

Frequently Asked Questions

My pets in the household will be affected by the treatments you apply?

The safety of your pets is extremely important to us. You can rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, either when it’s still wet or through inhalation or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Can the spray cause any harm to humans?

The spray we apply is usually utilized in public spaces such as hospitals and schools and causes no ill effects on humans.

What do I do if accidentally touch any of the areas that have been treated with a spray?

It’s only a concern if the sprayed areas remain wet. If this happens, wash with soap and plenty of water as quickly as you possibly can. After a relatively short period in time carrier, tap water will have gone out of the water and will not harm you in any way when you come in contact with the surface.
