American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, especially when you have flying cockroaches coming at you. There are 4,500 cockroach species in the world. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

Cockroaches inflict the biggest nuisance when they infest homes and business establishments. Otherwise called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they reside on trees, the American cockroach slopes toward dull, muggy and undisturbed zones and can be seen in subfloors, cellars, kitchens, roof voids and washrooms of homes. The American cockroach can fly and is found in seaside Australia, and as often as possible occupies channels. A typical feature for flying cockroaches is that they are for the most part outdoor cockroaches, found in seaside lands.

They’re fast in terms of reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. If they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Intriguing with all the female cockroach is that without even mating, they could still produce eggs with saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extraordinarily fast and might maneuver beneath doorways and into fairly small cracks. They select moist, humid areas, and normally live in surroundings in which temperatures at least a minimum of 29 degrees. They are typically discovereddrains, massive cracks or nooks around a building’s foundations or underneath a building. American cockroaches are scavengers that opt to consume for natural things.

Hazardous infestations of American cockroaches privately 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 framework, building institutions, or under entryways, sealing these sites can help prevent first infestations.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

To know if you have roach problems, here are tell-tale signs you can check in your home:

• Presence of live cockroach – roaches in general are parasitic insects and they scavenge around the area for food consumption and they are less likely to be seen throughout 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 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
• Damage – roaches will strike organic goods including leather and books
• Scent – dominant cockroach infestations produce a terrible, damp smell

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 preventive steps you can do to protect your family and pets.
