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 homes, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that’s a huge nuisance to environment and household.

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, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning 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.

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 have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. It is important to take note of the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The vast majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

Out of that capsule can come up to 36-48 eggs. That means just one roach can spawn 384 more roaches. As you can see, you can have quite a pest problem in only a brief time with German roaches. That’s why it’s important to eliminate roach eggs once you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches won’t resolve the problem.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

To start with, in controlling the German cockroach infestation, consider first to clean your household and surrounding area and be sure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should 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?

A few basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows closed and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They also can 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 professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to discover all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the region.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional help, particularly for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
