German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this pest is small, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could 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’s 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter border over the head, then it’s an American roach.

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

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation because they leave signs, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that seem like black pepper and are largely concentrated in one area. If you spot some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from such excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is by using vacuums.

You may also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious when an infestation is big enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they’ve rarely seen throughout the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of the time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the family and surrounding areas can help in keeping cockroaches at bay. You can do so by keeping your doors and windows shut and excellent standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and out of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be located and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
