German cockroaches on the loose

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

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females carry 35 – 40 eggs in an ootheca (egg case) until they are ready to hatch. Hatch in 1 month. Nymphs take between 6 weeks to 6 months to develop into adults, normally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

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 most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the time in such harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; thus, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

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 source of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
