German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach Is one of the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants and hotels. German cockroach (eggs included) are "brought in" usually on man’s belongings, luggage, boxes or packages. They produce the most eggs, have the shortest development cycle, the best survival rate of the young, and the most adaptive feeding habits of the majority of the roaches.

Notorious for their global supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation because they leave signs, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper and are mostly concentrated in one area. If you spot some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective gears. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is by using vacuums.

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 probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of the time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

On average, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For instance, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water resources in your home can help decrease a roach infestation.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires specialist help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will need to be located and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all of the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried to the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
