German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach is one of the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants, and hotels. German cockroaches (eggs included). A large German roach population will produce a foul odor. These roaches prefer food, moisture, and warmth. Sanitation measures are critical in controlling German roaches. German Roaches can be a serious health hazard in restaurants.

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

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark distinctive 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 close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve 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 due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply.

German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.
