Australian Cockroaches Pest Control
Broadbeach Gold Coast

What do they look like?

In spite of that they are classified “Australian cockroaches”, they do not originate in Broadbeach Australia though they are locally introduced and internationally recognised. They are mostly present in tropical countries and thought to originate in Africa.

This insect can move rapidly and can dart out of sight. They enter rooms through small crevices, holes or any open home windows and doorways, with its wings and is a capable flyer.

Though they are cold tolerant, they can still enter indoors where there is heat 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.

In Australia, there are approximately 450 species of cockroaches and three of it are categorised as pests. These domestic cockroaches are specifically, German cockroaches, American cockroaches and Australia cockroaches.

Signs of Infestation

Generally, cockroaches usually leave obvious trails and it’s easy to assume there’s an infestation. Known as nocturnal pests, they roam around the Broadbeach region in search of food and brooding place and can hide out of sight throughout the day. They sneak into households and buildings risking sanitation and clean food.

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

• Droppings – they leave the dust of black droppings that looks like coffee grounds or peppers and changes in lengths.
• Smear marks – these are irregular marks that are abandoned when they crawl. Their soil 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 carries multiples of eggs. These capsules are smoky brown in colour.
• Shed skin – cockroaches shed skin 5 to 8 times as they grow and develop in size. Look closely for these skin sheds which change in size in the area which you speculate they’re settling.
• Unusual odor – cockroaches produces pheromones that are unpleasant to the nose of humans. When they defecate, it emits pungent odor and taints items that come in contact with their waste. The odor will be really obvious as the infestation grows.
• Damages – cockroaches don’t longer only attack meals and food packages, in addition, they in all likelihood to feed on natural substances including leather-based items and books.
