German Cockroaches Control

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 larger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a tremendous nuisance to household and environment.

German cockroaches prefer to live near their food and water source which is usually in the kitchen and bathroom. We place the max force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches consume the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and perish. When the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then die. A successful German cockroach infestation can occasionally take up to a month to work because we must wait for the egg capsules to hatch.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark distinctive stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe on their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You may also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is big enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they’ve rarely seen throughout the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

The first and simplest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches in your home is to do preventive measures. This includes cleaning your family and surrounding region and make sure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t 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 clean condition so that it’s 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?

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

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 change 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 had been brought in with certain items.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
