Australian Cockroaches Pest Control
Booker Bay Central Coast

What do they look like?

Regardless of that they are categorised “Australian cockroaches”, they do not arise in Booker Bay Australia though they are locally introduced and globally recognised. They are mostly present in tropical countries and thought to originate in Africa.

With a length of 23 to 35 mm (almost 2 Inches), this tropical hopper and flyer can be seen in many places, both families and business premises. Know that presence of them can not only cause harm but also put you in a greater risk in health and bad sanitation reputation.

They’re cold-intolerant, this is why they brood in warm places. Even if It’s snowing outside, they’re capable of thriving inside as long as it has a favourable warm environment. Like most cockroaches they are scavengers, but they devour mostly on plants but can also feed on a huge array of organic substances including decaying matter.

There are around 450 species of cockroaches in Australia, but hardly any are categorised as pest. actually, There are three common types of roaches found in Australian homes and businesses, mainly, German cockroaches, American cockroaches and Australian Cockroaches (which isn’t a native at all in the country).

Signs of Infestation

Cockroaches usually leave trails of evidence so it’s easy to spot and presume an infestation. They are mostly active at night and hide from sight during the day in Booker Bay. Because they are nocturnal pests, they slip in and out of the household, they feast on food and other matter that can eventually influence the sanitation of your region.

Here are a few simple approaches to identify a cockroach infestation:

• Droppings – seem like coffee or black pepper grounds that change in lengths.
• Smear marks – their smear marks are mixed with water and generally dark to light brown in colour. These are often seen on walls, floors and in some areas where they crawl or nest.
• 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 – cockroaches shed skin 5 to 8 times as they mature and grow in size. Look out for these skin drops that varies in size in place that you suspect they are nestling.
• 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 might be actually obvious since the infestation develops.
• Damages – not only that they can attack food and packages, roaches are capable of destroying organic materials to feed on like leather and books.
