German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in homes, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a huge nuisance to household and environment.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called 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 weeks to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, generally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning to say they are busy 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.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches during the day, there’s a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It’s important to take note of the location of this excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. The 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 remove roach eggs when you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches won’t fix the issue.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully carried out with a few basic steps. When it comes to prevention and control of pests, simple things such as keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

Cockroaches like German cockroach can thrive indoors and outdoors. They can move in and out of the construction and can even traveling from neighbouring household to another location. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional assistance. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and as well 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’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, particularly for unidentified infestation, 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 successful cockroach control in your home or business.
