German cockroaches on the loose

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

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 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, generally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

At a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

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 shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.

• Food containers must be sealed.

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 maintaining your doors and windows shut and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires specialist help. 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 is a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional help, especially 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.
