American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most hated pests in the whole word. When we think of them, we imagine contamination and the diseases they could spread among people and animals. Cockroaches are cosmopolitan and there are 4,500 species identified and 6 of it are common in Australia.

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and commercial properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach favours dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and baths of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal regions.

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the assistance of the female cockroach for several days before being deposited. Sometimes they’re 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 quickly, and can maneuver beneath doors into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer 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

Below are hints which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation at home:

• Viewing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will almost certainly see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• 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 books and leather
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

If you’ve seen any cockroaches on your home, don’t postpone in calling a specialist and guaranteed pest management services to come and look after the issue immediately. The more you allow the delay of taking care of the issue, the more treatments are required to eradicate the pests.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measure you can do before calling help of the specialists:

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

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