Cockroach impact

Roaches are notorious for contaminating their surroundings, especially food, benches and utensils. In addition to being unsightly and frustrating to clean, their leavings facilitate a range of serious illnesses including salmonella, dysentery, and gastroenteritis. Cockroaches can create an obnoxious odour in high concentrations, and also trigger allergic reactions (like asthma) in sensitive individuals.

Roaches can also be surprisingly destructive! Their love of enclosed spaces often leads them to enter electrical appliances, which often damages or destroys their function. They are also attracted to paper, and will leave permanent marks on books, photos and other documents near their lairs. This makes cockroaches a much more costly pest than many people expect!

In addition to everything else, many people find the roaches themselves to be a disturbing or embarrassing sight. This is one pest that everybody wants to get rid of as soon as possible!

Signs of cockroach infestation

Miller's Pest Control - Signs of Cockroach Infestation
  • Unpleasant musty odour
  • Droppings of a fine black dust of very small pellets
  • Live cockroaches near food sources
  • Seeing cockroaches running when you turn your lights on a night time

Be especially vigilant when the weather turns warm and humid. Hot weather allows roaches to breed faster and spread further, so infestation can occur even more quickly than normal. In the Wollongong region, the humidity often stays high all throughout the summer months.

Why do I have roaches?

It’s important to understand that cockroaches are very common, especially in hot weather. Seeing roaches doesn’t mean your home is dirty or dangerous! The most common mistake is simply not eliminating roaches as soon as you start seeing them.

That said, being aware of what causes a cockroach infestation is your best bet to keep these pests out of your home for good. These tips will help you stop the occasional cockroach sighting from developing into full-blown infestation!

To control cockroaches & prevent re-infestation

  • Keep your floors clean, especially around the kitchen, lounge room, and laundry.
  • Pay special attention to cleaning around electrical appliances, as cockroaches love to get inside small, narrow spaces.
  • Check your bags before leaving work. You can accidentally bring one home with you, especially if you commute to Wollongong CBD or Sydney city.
  • Try to minimise warm, humid areas in your home, as these encourage cockroach activity and breeding.
  • Caulk up cracks in joins and brickwork to minimise available habitats.
  • Avoid storing cardboard or plastic near electrical appliances.
  • If you see one cockroach, don’t let it live!
