German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach is among the most common roaches found in apartment homes, restaurants, and hotels. German cockroaches (eggs included). A large German roach population will produce a foul odor. These roaches prefer moisture, food, and warmth. Sanitation measures are critical in controlling German roaches. German Roaches can be a significant health hazard in restaurants.

German cockroaches prefer to live close to their food and water source which is usually in the kitchen and bathroom. We put the maximum force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches consume the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and die. After the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then perish. A successful German cockroach infestation can sometimes take up to a month to work because we have to await the egg capsules to hatch.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there is 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 areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen active during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food 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 require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.
