American Cockroaches

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

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

The ootheca (egg case) containing as much as 16 eggs is carried with the aid 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 keep growing 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 environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees. Located in sewers, drains, large cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or beneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that prefer organic matter.

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 plumbing infrastructure, constructing foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you may have a cockroach infestation in your house:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests and they scavenge around the area for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen during the day but you can check areas where you think they are hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge 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
• Damages – aside from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods like leather and books
• Unpleasant odor -cockroach emit unpleasant odors in locations where they usually infest

If infestation is large and cannot be dealt by you alone, call in the support of the nearest pest management expert in town. However, there are also preventative measures you can do to safeguard your family and pets.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation is to prevent eliminating 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 used dishes and cutlery immediately
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris which are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Make sure wet and dry rubbish are put in separate trash bins and dispose wet garbage immediately to prevent flies and cockroaches festering on it
• If you have pets, make it a habit to remove pet food, water and litter trays overnight to prevent contamination
• Seal entry points you can see to stop the roaches gaining entry into your household
