American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches is the American cockroach or also known as the"Palmetto Water Bug." It is one of the largest cockroaches that is known to invade homes and businesses. Generally, they live outdoors but may also gain entrance in buildings and household areas.

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.

The American cockroach loves dark and humid places like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Aside from thriving as outdoor pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and found in coastal areas of Australia.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to see and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via plumbing infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, stopping up these areas can help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach issues, here are signs you can look for to assume their existence.

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout the day but you can check areas where you think they are hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a dust of black droppings less than 1mm wide and of varying lengths
• Egg capsules and moultings – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty smell that roaches produce in their infestation

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