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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it is not the size of your thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it’s a female wood roach. If It’s 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 mind, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable 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 inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark distinctive strips 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 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 different areas if there’s 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 most likely is because of 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.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

A cockroach infestation must be quickly identified and ascertained to ensure that it does not get out of control. Cockroaches are considered pests due to the risks they pose. Below are basic things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:

  • Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
  • Maintain trash dumpsters clean
  • Make sure food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
  • Food containers should be sealed.
  • Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
  • All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
  • Maintained in a clean condition so that it Is food free and grease free
  • All pet food has to be picked up
  • No food left out in the open
  • Sweeping or vacuuming of any food particles or crumbs
  • Eliminate empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Generally, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For instance, the most common roach discovered indoors is the German roach. The German roach is drawn to water. Reducing access to water resources in your house can help reduce a roach infestation.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and may pass through small openings like light switch plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all possible harborages and a determination if it was brought in with certain items.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be found 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 to the premises via packages or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.

Real Estate Property Manager. Prior to the introduction I had used other Companys who did not offer the same professional service I attained from Local Pest Control. No job was too small or too big and they were always contactable and were able to attend to the job quickly. The quality of their service and the work performed is second to none. I have used the Company for my own family needs as well and I will never again use another Company for my Pest Control needs.

I had Benjamin from Local Pest Control come to our place on Monday because I was worried we had a spider problem. He identified a major funnel web spider situation. Benjamin was so thorough and considerate because I was very scared having three small children. He went above and beyond to make sure he spent as much time as needed to treat every single spider hole in our yard. He has arranged to come back in 2 weeks time just to make sure we are all safe for the Christmas period. So grateful for all his help. Highly recommend!

Are my pets at home affected by the treatments you apply?

The security of your pet is very important to us. You may rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, whether it’s still wet or by inhaling or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Will the spray cause human health issues?

The spray we use is often employed in public areas such as hospitals and schools and causes no ill effects to human beings.

What do I do if I happen to touch one of the areas sprayed?

It’s only of concern if the spray areas remain wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as fast as you can. After a brief period in time carrier, tap water will have gone out of the water and will not cause any harm to you should you come into contact with the region.
