German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in homes, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females take 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there’s a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It’s important to be aware of the location of the excrement to treat in these regions, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. Nearly All the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen 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 the time in such harborages. First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when starting your German roach management program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a small amount of food to sustain them. You need to:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often 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
• All pet food needs to be picked up
• No food left out in the open
• Sweeping or vacuuming of any food particles or crumbs
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

Cockroaches like German cockroach can thrive indoors and outside. They can move in and out of the construction and can even travel from neighbouring family to another location. That is 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 cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional assistance, particularly for unidentified infestation, is important in order to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
