German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this insect is little, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it is not the size of the thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it’s a female wood roach. If it is dark mahogany and the size of your thumb, then it is a smoky brown roach. If it is larger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the head, then it is an American roach.

The German roach is easily transported. It comes from the grocery store, providers (commercial) or your friends and neighbours. When you buy groceries, they can catch a ride in one of those bags and can be inadvertently introduced into your pantry or your kitchen cabinets

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark distinctive 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 near 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’s 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 most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage 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 need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A few basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and 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 household to another location. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional assistance. Pest control experts do a comprehensive site inspection to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the area.

Doing a DIY method can’t 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 bugs that are unknown, is important so as 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.
