Australian Cockroaches Pest Control
Gregory Hills Sydney

What do they look like?

Though they are called “Australian Cockroaches”, they are common particularly in countries with a tropical climate like Gregory Hills Australia. These roach species are thought to originate in Africa and are globally known to other nations also.

This insect can move quickly and can dart out of sight. They enter rooms through little cracks, holes or any open home windows and doors, with its wings and is a capable flyer.

Though they are cold tolerant, they can still enter inside where there is warmth and favourable environment. They thrive and would likely nestle and breed. Like most cockroaches, they’re voracious scavengers eating crops and a vast array of organic materials such as decaying matter.

There are around 450 species of cockroaches in Australia, however, only a few are classified as a pest. In fact, there are three typical kinds of roaches found in Australian homes and companies, especially, German cockroaches, American cockroaches and Australian cockroaches (which is not a native in any respect within the country).

Signs of Infestation

Cockroaches usually leave trails of evidence so it is easy to spot and assume an infestation. They are mostly active at night and hide out of sight throughout the day in Gregory Hills. Because they are nocturnal pests, they sneak in and outside of the family, they feast on food and other matter that could eventually influence the sanitation of your region.

Here are some simple ways to spot on a cockroach infestation:

• Droppings – seem like coffee or black pepper grounds that change in lengths.
• Smear marks – these are irregular marks that are left when they crawl. Their dirt is usually mixed with water, hence, when they crawl, they leave trails that are dark to light brown in colour.
• Egg capsules (ootheca) – roaches lay eggs in capsules or known as ootheca which contains multiples of eggs. These capsules are smoky brown in colour.
• Shed skin – roaches are also known to shed skin as they grow and mature. They often shed 5 to 8 times and their skin sheds varies in size. These are seen in locations where they often nest.
• Unusual odor – cockroaches emit pheromones that are unpleasant to the nose of human beings. When they defecate, it emits a musty smell and taints objects that come in touch with their waste. The odor may be actually obvious since the infestation develops.
• Damages – food and food packages are not the only ones which cockroaches feed on, they also like organic substances such as leather and books which they tear and drill it.
