Cockroaches are often seen as the small, indestructible nuisance that seem to have conquered every corner of your home or kitchen. These critters tend to survive in the most unwelcoming environments (no, they cannot survive nuclear bombs). Cockroaches are found globally, contaminate your food, and spread diseases. But fret not, if your home has been infiltrated by these resilient invaders, here's some helpful info to allow you to regain control.
Ranging among the 4,000 species under the banner of the insect order Blattodea, cockroaches are quite diverse. However, we usually scream at just a few notorious species: the American, German, and Oriental cockroaches that dominate the star-spangled scene.
If you spot an insect that looks like it's donned a shiny brown or black armor, sporting a flattened body, six legs, and a pair of antennae - chances are, you've just met a cockroach. The American ones stand out, reaching a length of 2 inches, making them the Goliaths among common home-invading cockroaches. The German variants are the middle child, approximately 1 inch long, while the Oriental ones are the tiniest, around ½ inch in length. American cockroaches are known to be more of a wandering species that finds its way indoors while German cockroaches are the more likely culprit for widespread infestations.
When you're going to war against these creepy-crawlies, you need a multi-pronged approach. Start with a cockroach-specific insecticide. Keep in mind, a 'one insecticide kills all pests' mantra won't work here. Using a spray designed to wipe out ants or spiders may not be as effective against cockroaches.
Bait traps are your next weapon of choice. Picture these as alluring death-dinners for cockroaches. Filled with poison disguised as a scrumptious meal, the cockroaches will feast and consequently meet their end.
You’ll also want to ensure your home isn’t easy access for the insects. Seal off any cracks or holes the cockroaches may exploit as entry points. Cleaning up food remnants and debris that attract cockroaches is another step in ensuring your home stays roach-free. A dirty dish or glass of leftover juice makes great meals for a budding cockroach family.
The best offense is a good defense, and that applies to cockroaches too. A home that's clean, clutter-free, and well-maintained is your primary line of defense against these insects. Keep those cracks and holes sealed to prevent any unwelcome guests from setting up residency.
Furthermore, consider investing in cockroach repellents as a proactive measure such as tea tree oil or borax. They serve as an invisible force field, warding off any approaching cockroach invaders.
Of course, in addition to their infamous survival skills, these creatures bring with them a host of unpleasantries. They leave behind an unsettling odor and their droppings can be a sight for sore eyes. Let's not forget the horror of stumbling upon a batch of cockroach eggs, a sign of a looming infestation. In fact, if you have 1,000 cockroaches in your home today, within six months that can easily be 10,000 cockroaches - they reproduce that fast.
While the lifespan of these creatures isn't incredibly long, the rate at which they reproduce can be a cause for concern, leading to a rapid surge in their population and consequent escalation in the cockroach control cost.
Equipped with the right knowledge, tools, and a determined spirit, you can turn the tide in this war, ensuring a cockroach-free home and peace of mind. For the best results, contact a pest control expert as they will craft you a customized treatment plan that will quickly treat roach infestations and help you prevent them in the future.

Cockroaches reproduce quickly. After a single mating, a female cockroach can lay around seven broods with up to 50 eggs at a time, and the eggs will hatch in about 2 weeks. The young cockroaches, called nymphs, will mature into adults in about 3 months provided they aren’t immediately eaten by other cockroaches. This means that a small cockroach infestation can quickly grow into a large infestation.
Cockroaches are omnivorous and will eat almost anything. However, they prefer to eat food that is high in carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, and cereal. They will also eat other foods, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, and even garbage. They will even eat their own fecal matter, brood, and even each other if the population is dwindling.
Signs of a cockroach infestation include seeing cockroaches themselves, their droppings, egg casings that are small oval-shaped capsules found in cracks and crevices, or a distinct odor. This odor is often strong and unpleasant and likened to a sooty or mildew stench. Fun fact, it is often the oriental cockroach that produces the worst smell.
Cockroaches can be dangerous to human health. They can carry bacteria and other pathogens that can cause food poisoning, diarrhea, and other illnesses. Cockroaches can also trigger asthma or allergic reactions in some people.
A few ways you can get rid of cockroaches are by using cockroach traps, spray, boric acid, or hiring a pest control company. Aruza Pest control has a tried and tested checklist that ensures infestation treatment and prevention.
