They survive nuclear explosions, but stand no chance against your slipper (and Biogard)!
The American cockroach is the largest domestic cockroach, reaching up to 4 cm in length. It has a shiny reddish-brown body with a yellowish edge around the shield behind its head. Its wings cover the entire body, with males having longer wings than females. The antennae are as long as the body and have multiple segments.
These cockroaches prefer warm and humid places, often found in basements, sewers, and kitchens. They are omnivorous but prefer sweet and starchy foods. The female can lay up to 150 eggs in her lifetime, which hatch after about 50 days. Adults live up to 2 years. American cockroaches are primarily active at night and are capable of flying short distances.
American cockroaches can transmit various pathogens, including Salmonella and E. coli, contaminating food and surfaces. They release allergens that can trigger asthma attacks, especially in children. These insects can damage books, clothes, and electrical wires. Additionally, they leave an unpleasant odor in infested areas.
Seal all cracks and openings in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent their entry. Keep the kitchen and bathroom clean and dry, store food in airtight containers. Regularly dispose of garbage and do not leave dirty dishes overnight. Use baited traps or boric acid in places inaccessible to children and pets.
How we treat it
Our pest control specialists from Biogard use a combination of methods to control American cockroaches. We apply gel baits at strategic points, which cockroaches carry to their nests. We also use insecticidal powders in voids and cracks. In severe infestations, effective spraying against cockroaches and sewer treatment are key. We also offer long-term monitoring and prevention plans through our pest control services.
