American Cockroaches

Cockroaches are often one of 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 homes and businesses, one of which is the American cockroach.

American cockroaches is just one of the largest cockroaches that invade the home and industrial establishments to invade homes and industrial residences. Also known as the’Palmetto bug’ due to the fact they live on wood, the American cockroach prefers dark, humid and undisturbed regions and can be found in sub-floors, kitchens, kitchens, roof voids and bathrooms of homes. They could fly and can be found in coastal Australia, and regularly inhabits drain. A common characteristic of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches and lived as well in coastal areas.

The male specie of the 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 amazing fact though is that, even without mating, 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 like sub floors, basements, kitchens, attics, roof voids and bathrooms. They can also be often inhabiting drains as well as coastal areas.

Problematic infestations of American Cockroaches in residential buildings are rare. Their large size means that they are easy to view and catch. Their taste for warm temperatures also slows their development. As American cockroaches are inclined to enter buildings via pipes infrastructure, building foundations, or under doors, quitting up these areas will help manage initial infestations. Residual insecticides are effective.

The following are signs that you may have a cockroach infestation 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 during the day but you can check areas where you think they are 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 that encapsulate multiple eggs and as they develop, they molt or shed skin over 5 times as they mature
• Damages – cockroaches love organic products and other than meals, they assault natural materials like leather and books
• odor – based cockroach infestations produce an unpleasant, musty smell
