American Cockroaches

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

It is one of the largest pest cockroaches to invade houses and business properties. Also called the ‘Palmetto bug’ since they live on trees, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed areas and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of houses. The American cockroach can fly and is located in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

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.

In spite of their size, these cockroaches move amazingly fast, and can dart out underneath the entryways and into genuinely little cracks. They incline toward soggy, muggy zones, and normally live in situations where temperatures are normal, at least 29 degrees. Found in sewers, channels, enormous splits or markets around a structure institutions or underneath a structure. American cockroaches are foragers that lean toward organic matter.

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

To know if you have roach problems, here are signs you can look to assume their presence.

• Seeing live roaches – cockroaches are nocturnal and cover up during the day, you will likely observe them when turning on the light in the kitchen throughout the evening
• Droppings – cockroach droppings or feces lay on areas where they’re usually nestled and sometimes the dropping accumulates in one area. The droppings are like black pepper grounds and vary in length
• Egg cases and cast skins – cockroaches shed their skin 5-8 times as they grow
• Damages – apart from food, cockroaches love to eat organic goods such as 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 you’ve noticed any cockroaches in your personal home, don’t postpone in calling a professional and authorised pest control expert to go to and attend to the problem soonest. The more you defer in attending to the issue, the greater the amount of treatments required to eliminate the pests.
