Observation
Remotus knows these pests well. Australian cockroaches are medium-sized, reddish-brown insects with distinctive yellow markings on their wings and thorax. They prefer warm, humid environments, often found outdoors but can invade your home if conditions are right. Remotus advises you to look for them near potted plants, greenhouses, and in damp, dark corners of your home.
Outlook
Remotus sees them as a threat to your peace. Australian cockroaches are not just a nuisance—they can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria, similar to their American cousins. Their presence indicates potential moisture issues, and Remotus urges quick action to prevent them from becoming a more significant problem. Effective treatment typically takes several weeks and involves using baits, insecticides, and regular follow-up inspections to ensure that all cockroaches and their eggs are completely eliminated.
Gateways
Remotus warns that these cockroaches are opportunistic. They typically enter homes through cracks, gaps around doors and windows, or by hitching a ride in potted plants and outdoor items brought inside. Remotus insists you secure all potential entry points and keep them from making your home their own.
