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 dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part 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 with a lighter edge over the head, then it is an American roach.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, 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 per year. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjoining rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them throughout the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of the time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) must be clean
• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it’s food free and grease free
• All pet food needs 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 example, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water sources in your house can help reduce a roach infestation.

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

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is 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 remove all of 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 house or business.
