American Cockroaches

When 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 types that are known in Australia.

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

The man specie of this roach has high sensitivity to female cockroach pheromones. Whereas the female ones are proactive egg producers because they could lay a sack of 16 eggs after mating. One wonderful fact though is that, even without mating, the female can lay eggs using saved sperm and can live up to a year.

Despite their size, these cockroaches move extremely quickly, and can maneuver under doors and into fairly small cracks. They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in surroundings 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.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are uncommon. Their large size means that they are easy to view and capture. Their preference for warm temperatures also slows their growth. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or beneath doors, stopping up these areas can help handle initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

Below are hints which you can check if you’ve got a cockroach infestation at home:

• Seeing live insects – cockroaches are nocturnal and hide during the day, you will most likely see them when turning on the light in the kitchen at night
• Droppings – cockroaches leave a residue of dark droppings under 1mm wide and of varying size
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5 to 8 times as they grow
• Damage – roaches will attack organic goods including leather and books
• odor – cockroach infestations produce an ugly, stale scent

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

Controlling a Cockroach Infestation

Here are some effective preventive measure you can do before calling assistance of the experts:

• Try not to leave liquids in sinks or buckets overnight

Preventing and Getting Rid of Cockroaches

Sealing entryways in the course of your industrial or house resources can help prevent cockroaches from moving into your home. Check your area for gaps under pipes or doorways or neighbouring houses.
