German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach Is among 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 most of the roaches.

The German roach is easily transported. It comes from the grocery store, providers (commercial) or your buddies and neighbours. When you buy groceries, they could catch a ride in one of those bags and can be inadvertently introduced to your pantry or your kitchen cabinets

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark distinctive strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Ladies replicate 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.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the time in such harborages. First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach management program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a small amount of food to sustain them. You need to:

  • Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied
  • Maintain trash dumpsters clean
  • Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently 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 Is food free and grease free
  • All pet food needs 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?

Preventive measures like cleaning the family and surrounding areas can help keep cockroaches at bay. You can do so by keeping your windows and doors shut and excellent standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

There are plenty of other prevention methods as well, such as daily cleaning and proper food storage, to prevent an infestation. But how can you get rid of cockroaches once they have already entered your home?

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will need to be found and treated. It may not be possible to remove all 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 licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.

Great company, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and awesome results. Called Andrew and let him know what we were seeing. Andrew was wonderful, helped me determine what type of creepy crawlers we had in our home and was able to get someone out really quick. Adam came out to treat our apartment for cockroaches and from start to finish I was super impressed. Adam was friendly, answered all my questions, and gave me some insight and tips to help with our problem. Local Pest Control is a reliable and effective company who I won’t hesitate to call again! Highly recommend.

I had Benjamin from Local Pest Control come to our place on Monday because I was worried we had a spider problem. He identified a major funnel web spider situation. Benjamin was so thorough and considerate because I was very scared having three small children. He went above and beyond to make sure he spent as much time as needed to treat every single spider hole in our yard. He has arranged to come back in 2 weeks time just to make sure we are all safe for the Christmas period. So grateful for all his help. Highly recommend!

I have been using this business for pest control for number of years after having a number of other pest control companies failing to ensure unwanted inserts and spiders were not around our place. Local Pest Control seem to have the environmental toxic free products and satisfy the pest problem and it seems to last the year. Highly recommend this business would not consider another pest business. Valued customer.
