3. COCKROACHES Cockroaches in Australia are a ubiquitous presence across the continent, with approximately 450 species inhabiting various environments from urban dwellings to dense forests. Although many people regard them as unwelcome pests, the majority of Australian cockroach species are actually native and play a vital role in breaking down organic matter, thereby contributing to nutrient cycling within ecosystems. Among the notable species are the giant burrowing cockroach, the world’s heaviest cockroach species, and the Australian wood cockroach, often found in leaf litter and woodpiles.

4. COCKROACH SAFETY TIPS • Wear gloves and a mask when handling cockroaches or their droppings. Cockroaches can carry diseases, so it is important to take precautions to avoid exposure. • Do not use pesticides without reading and following the label instructions. Pesticides can be dangerous if not used properly. • Keep children and pets away from areas where pesticides have been used. Pesticides can be harmful to children and pets. • If you have a severe cockroach infestation, call a professional pest control company. They will have the experience and expertise to get rid of the cockroaches safely and effectively.

5. COCKROACHES SPECIES • German cockroach (Blatella germanica): This is the smallest of the common cockroach pests, measuring about 13 mm long. German cockroaches are light brown in color and have two dark parallel lines running down their backs. They are attracted to food and water, and they can quickly become a nuisance in homes and businesses. • American cockroach (Periplaneta americana): This is the largest of the common cockroach pests, measuring about 38 mm long. American cockroaches are reddish-brown in color and have a long, oval-shaped body. They are attracted to heat and moisture, and they can be found in sewers, drains, and other dark, damp areas. • Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis): This is a dark brown or black cockroach that measures about 30 mm long.

6. COCKROACHES REMOVAL • Keep your home clean and free of clutter. Cockroaches are attracted to food and water, so it is important to keep your home clean and free of clutter. This means sweeping and mopping floors regularly, taking out the trash, and keeping food in sealed containers. • Seal up cracks and crevices. Cockroaches can squeeze through very small openings, so it is important to seal up any cracks and crevices around your home, especially around windows, doors, and pipes. • Get rid of standing water. Cockroaches need water to survive, so it is important to get rid of any standing water around your home, such as in flowerpots and birdbaths.
