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 can 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 the thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it is 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter edge over the head, then it’s an American roach.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 months to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, generally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outside and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They can also emit foul odors too because of their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. DO NOT simply clean up these excrements without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger allergies and asthma. It is important to observe the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The vast majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen active 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 harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in such harborages. First instar nymphs require 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?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they can gain entry to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in goods brought into assumptions.

The German cockroach can move 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 such as light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires specialist help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to discover all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

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