Cockroaches are common insects. Two of the most common types of cockroach pest in Ireland are the Oriental cockroach and the German cockroach.
Cockroaches pose a direct health risk to humans. They are vectors of disease, known to carry the organisms which cause food poisoning in humans and many other bacteria, such as salmonella, staphylococcus and streptococcus.
Cockroaches move from sewers, drains into buildings and human habitats. This means that when they’re in your building, foraging for food and water, they will contaminate anything they come into contact with; food, utensils, and preparation surfaces. They disgorge portions of their partially digested food at intervals and drop faeces along the way.
Generally, as a rule, cockroaches don’t like the Irish weather so they do live within buildings. Oriental cockroaches are much hardier than the German and, in the summer months, you may even see them outdoors around bin areas where they forage.
The German cockroach favours higher temperatures and humidities. You’re likely to find them behind appliances where you have warm motors, such as your oven or fridge. Oriental cockroaches will thrive in cool, damp areas such as basements and drains.
You should also look for cockroaches around pipes, stoves, and sinks, especially in humid areas like bathrooms and around laundry appliances. Areas with food, water and dark spaces to hide are ideal environments for cockroaches to live.
Cockroaches are distinguished by their very long whip-like antennae, flat oval bodies and rapid, jerky walk. The adult German cockroach is a light yellowy/brown and is 10 to 15mm long, with two distinguishable dark stripes on its thorax. The Oriental cockroach is shiny black, brown or mahogany and measures around 20 to 24mm long.
Immature stages of cockroach, called nymphs, look exactly like adults, just on a smaller scale.
Control of cockroaches is seldom easy because of the difficulty in getting the insecticide to the insect. Cockroaches are hard-wired to survive. They are adaptable, highly mobile and their lifecycle makes cockroach control an uphill task for the untrained individual.
It is crucial to solve a cockroach infestation without hesitation as they can quickly get out of control.
