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.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there is a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It is important to take note of the location of this excrement to treat in these regions, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The germs from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. Nearly All the roach population is found 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 observed active during the day, it probably is because of 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 these harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

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 was brought in with certain items.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will need to be located and treated.
