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 are one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to household and environment.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable 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 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.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark identifying stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe on 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 often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

Out of this capsule can come up to 36-48 eggs. That means just 1 roach can spawn 384 more roaches. As you can see, you can have quite a pest problem in only a brief time with German roaches. That is why it’s important to eliminate roach eggs when you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches won’t fix the issue.

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

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

On average, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For instance, the most common roach found inside is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water sources in your home can help decrease a roach infestation.

There are plenty of other prevention methods as well, such as daily cleaning and proper food storage, to stop an infestation. But how do you get rid of cockroaches once they have already entered your home?

But if an infestation is supposed, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for effective cockroach prevention or control in your home or business.
