German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this pest is small, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it is not the size of your 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 border over the mind, then it is an American roach.

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

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation since they leave signs, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that seem like black pepper and are mostly concentrated in one area. If you see some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from such excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is using vacuums.

You can also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is large enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they’ve rarely seen during the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of the time in these places breeding.

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 good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move and dart in and outside of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be located and treated. It may not be possible to remove all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent supply of cockroaches is carried to the premises via packages or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
