American Cockroaches

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

One of the common family roaches that we experience is the American cockroach. In other countries, it is called "Palmetto Water Bug". American cockroach is about 3 centimeters long. They are known to infest homes and businesses although they generally live outside.

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.

The American cockroach enjoys dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attic, roof voids and bathrooms. Apart from thriving as outside pests, American cockroaches frequently inhabit drains and located in coastal areas of Australia.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches in private structures are exceptional. Their substantial size implies they are anything but hard to see and catch. Their inclination for warm temperatures also moderates their development as American cockroaches will enter structures through pipe frame, building establishments, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent initial infestations.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• Live cockroaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide in the course of the day, you will probably see them whilst powering on the light in the kitchen during the night
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or stool lay on areas where they are usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in 1 area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and change in length
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 days as they mature
• Harm – those insects will attack on natural products including leather and books
• Stale odor – when you are able to spot their nests, it is possible to smell an unpleasant musty odor that roaches produce in their infestation

Short-term solutions will do no good and less effective, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or any other pest issues, long term control programs are still the best.

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

One of the most effective ways of controlling a cockroach infestation would be to prevent eliminating access to food and water:

• Do not leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight
• Store food in containers or in sealed plastic bags
• Clear dishes and cutlery after use
• Keep your kitchen and dining tidy and mess-free
• Clear waste food, spillages and debris that are stuck in tight areas like under stoves, grills, grills and cupboards
• Take care with soiled napkins or dirty clothing
• If you have pets, make it a habit to eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight to reduce contamination
• Eliminate pet food, water and litter trays overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entrance points throughout your home or business property can help prevent cockroaches from entering your property. Key risk areas are gaps under doors or around pipes to the exterior or neighbouring properties.

Sealing gaps where cockroaches can conceal 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatments you employ?

The security of your pet is extremely important to us. You can rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, whether it is still wet or inhaling it or ingestion, is minute.

Does the spray pose problems to humans?

The spray we use is often used in public places like schools and hospitals and does not cause any harm to humans.

What should I do if I happen to touch one of the areas that have been spray?

This will only be of concern if the spray areas are still wet. If this occurs, clean with soap and lots of water as fast as you are able to. After a relatively short period duration, your water carrier tap water has evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the surface.
