American Cockroaches

The sight of cockroaches makes us cringe knowing they are the most despised pests in the whole word. When we think of these, we envision contamination and the diseases that 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 among the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and business properties. Also known as the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found 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 feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) including 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 keep growing in 15 months.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely fast, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer damp, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, drains, big cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or under a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that favor organic matter.

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

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

The following are signs that you may possess a cockroach infestation in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are nocturnal pests and they scavenge around the region for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen during the day but you can check areas where you think they’re hiding and nestling
• Droppings – cockroaches go away with the dirt of black droppings less than 1mm huge and of varying lengths
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they develop
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, you can smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

If infestation is large and can’t be coped by you alone, call in the help of the nearest pest management expert in town. However, there are also preventive measures you can do to protect your family and pets.
