German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this insect is little, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of the thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it is a female wood roach. If it is dark mahogany and the size of your thumb, then it is a smoky brown roach. If it is bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the mind, then it’s an American roach.

The German roach is easily transported. It comes from the supermarket, providers (commercial) or your friends and neighbours. When you buy groceries, they could grab a ride in one of the bags and can be accidentally introduced to your pantry or your kitchen cabinets

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there’s a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It is important to be aware of the location of this excrement to treat in these regions, 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. Nearly All the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen 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 their time in such harborages. First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; thus, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

A cockroach infestation has to be quickly identified and ascertained to ensure that it doesn’t get out of control. Cockroaches are considered pests because of the dangers they pose. Below are basic things you can do to avoid these pests out of festering around:

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.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch 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 had been brought in with certain items.

German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food people leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to eliminate any potential food sources lying around your home or business. However, if an infestation is supposed, you can contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach prevention or control in your house or business.
