Australian Cockroaches Pest Control
Fig Tree Pocket Brisbane

What do they look like?

In general, Australian cockroaches are mostly outdoor pests. When the climate is cold in Fig Tree Pocket, they enter houses with favourable temperatures where they can get so cozy. Because Australia also experiences winter, these creepy creatures creep into homes to nestle comfortably and feed on food storages to survive and get protected.

With a length of 23 to 35 mm (nearly 2 Inches), this tropical hopper and flyer are seen in many locations, both families and business premises. Know that existence of these can not only cause harm but also put you at a greater risk in health and bad sanitation reputation.

Though they are cold tolerant, they could still enter indoors where there is heat and favourable environment. They thrive and would probably nestle and breed. Like most cockroaches, they’re voracious scavengers eating plants and a vast array of organic materials such as decaying matter.

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

Signs of Infestation

Cockroaches, for the most part, leave trails of proof so it is anything but hard to spot and expect an infestation. They are active during the evening and hide from sight in the day. Because they are nocturnal pests, they slip in and outside of the household, devour food and other items that can impact the sanitation of Fig Tree Pocket region.

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

• Droppings – they leave a residue of dark droppings that resembles espresso beans or peppers and 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 called ootheca which carries multiples of eggs. These capsules are smoky brown in colour.
• Shed skin – cockroaches shed skin five to eight cases as they mature and grow in size. Watch out for these skin sheds which varies in length in areas that you suspect they’re nesting.
• Unusual odor – cockroaches produces pheromones that are unpleasant to the nose of people. When they defecate, it emits musty scent and taints items that come in contact with their waste. The odor will be really obvious as the infestation develops.
• Damages – cockroaches do not only attack food and food packages, they also likely to feed on organic materials such as leather and books.

Common places of infestation

Although DIY measures can somehow help pest issues in Fig Tree Pocket, they aren’t necessarily guaranteed to fully eradicate roach infestation. Not all areas can be sanitised or disinfected by insecticides or cleaning products because certain areas that are out of reach are good places for insect to colonise and strain.

Insecticide and cleansing the house and surrounding regions may be helpful to control the infestation of these nasty, creepy crawlers however there are cases that these steps aren’t sufficient. Hence, most home owners are seeking the assistance of licensed pest control dealers to help them absolutely get rid of the infestation.
