American Cockroaches

Once we hear about roaches and even just the sight of it, automatically we shout. Cockroaches are the most hated pests and may stir commotion particularly when they fly. Globally, there are approximately 4,500 species of cockroaches recorded and there are 6 common types which are known in Australia.

One of the common household roaches which we experience 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 although 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 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 like 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.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying dimensions
• Egg capsule and moult (sheddings) – when roach grow, they experience molting (skin shedding) until they complete adult. Also, they leave vacated egg capsules behind or known as ootheca that encapsulates multiple eggs
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, moist odor

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it is a cockroach problem or another pest issues, long term management programs are still the best.

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 underneath doorways or pipes or neighbouring houses.

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