American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most hated household pests. They can cause quite a commotion, specifically, when you have flying cockroaches coming in you. There are 4,500 Cockroach species which are globally identified. In Australia, there are six common cockroach species that plague homes and businesses, one in each of that’s the American cockroach.

One of the common family roaches that we experience 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 although they generally live outside.

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

All cockroaches like to nestle in dark and humid places such as sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Infestations of American cockroaches in residential homes are unusual. Their large size means that they are easy to see and capture. Their desire for hot temperatures additionally slows their development. As American cockroaches tend to enter buildings through pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting those areas can help control preliminary infestations. Residual pesticides are effective.

Identifying You Have a Cockroach Problem

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

• 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 – 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 that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin more than 5 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic goods and other than meals, they attack natural materials like leather and books
• Stale odor – when you can 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 powerful, hence, whether it’s a cockroach problem or any other pest problems, long term control programs are still the best.
