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 flexible feeding habits of most of the roaches.

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

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark identifying strips 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 near 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’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

Out of this 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 remove roach eggs once you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches will not fix the issue.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should 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 sterile 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
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

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

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment 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 was brought in with certain items.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional help, especially for unidentified infestation, is important in order to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
