What are Cockroaches?
Cockroaches are scavenging insects that feed on decaying matter. They carry bacteria and can trigger allergies and asthma. Over 4,000 species exist worldwide. Roaches prefer warm, humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They hide in cracks and reproduce quickly. Controlling cockroaches means targeting nesting sites.
Fun Fact: Cockroaches are incredible survivors. They can live for up to a month without food at all! Their bodies are specially adapted to go for long periods without eating, making them very difficult pests to get rid of.
Common Cockroach Species
- German Cockroach (Blattella Germanica spp.) – Most common. 1/2 to 1 inch long. Light brown with two dark stripes. Eat any organic material to built-up grease.
- American Cockroach (Periplaneta Americana spp.) – Reddish brown, up to 2 inches long. Outdoor species but enters structures.
- Australian Cockroach (Periplaneta Australasiae spp.) – Reddish brown color, large size around 1 1/2 inches. Often found outdoors.
- Oriental Cockroach (Blatta Orientalis spp.) – Dark black/brown. Up to 1 1/4 inches long. Lives in cool, damp places.
- Smoky Brown Cockroach (Periplaneta Fuliginosa spp.) – Dark brown to black in colour. Gets name from smoky look. Up to 1 1/2 inches.
- Brown Banded Cockroach (Supella Longipalpa spp.) – Tan to dark brown. With light brown bands on wings/abdomen. Small, around 1/2 inch.
Knowing the exact species helps our technicians identify behavior patterns and likely nesting sites during assessment. Trust Pest Control targets treatments to remove all common species of cockroaches found in Melbourne homes and businesses.
Take Note: They rarely infest the dwelling parts of buildings and are instead usually found in sheds, wall and roof voids, subfloors, mulched areas, in and around grease traps, and drains.

Signs of a Cockroach Infestation
- Cockroach droppings that look like coffee grounds
- Strong musty odor from their scent glands
- Molted cockroach skins and egg cases
- Seeing live and dead cockroaches, especially at night around food and water sources
- Greasy smear marks along walls and cabinets
- Chewed paper or cardboard
How Can You Prevent Cockroaches?
- Take out trash regularly and keep bins sealed tight
- Clean up spills like grease and sugary liquids right away – remove all access to food sources
- Store everything in airtight containers rather than cardboard boxes
- Fix any water leaks under appliances or sinks
- Seal cracks, holes, and gaps where pipes enter walls
Keeping your home environment clean, dry, and well-maintained makes it much less inviting to cockroaches. Eliminate debris, fix moisture issues, and close off common pest entry points.
