German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and mostly found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

Notorious for their global 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, normally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there is a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It’s important to be aware of the location of the excrement to treat in these regions, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The germs from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. Nearly All 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 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 the time in these harborages. First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

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 this 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 can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and may pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the region.

German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food people leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to eliminate any potential food resources lying around your house or business. However, if an infestation is suspected, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for effective cockroach prevention or control in your home or business.
