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 bigger 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 household and environment.

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, normally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark, distinctive strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, 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 other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of their time in these places breeding.
