German cockroaches on the loose

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

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The mature 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 flourish 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 to say they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outdoors and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

At a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the commercial 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 adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them during the day, it most likely is due to 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 the time in these places breeding.
