German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious standing, German cockroaches are a huge nuisance to both households and businesses. Their presence does not only send shivers but deemed to impose risk on sanitation and health. These cockroaches are much larger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one nasty pest that attracts frustrating chaos.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females carry 35 – 40 eggs in an ootheca (egg case) until they are ready to hatch. Hatch in 1 month. Nymphs take between 6 weeks to 6 months to develop into adults, normally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark identifying stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in color, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Ladies replicate one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there is a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

The first and simplest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches at home is to do preventive measures. This includes cleaning your family and surrounding area and ensure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it’s food free and grease free

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Generally, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found inside is the German roach. The German roach is drawn to water. Reducing access to water sources in your home can help decrease a roach infestation.

Cockroaches like German cockroach can thrive indoors and outside. They can move in and out of the building and can even traveling from neighbouring household to another location. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional assistance. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional assistance, particularly for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
