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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of your thumb and it’s 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 head, then it is an American roach.

German cockroaches like to live near their food and water source that are generally in the kitchen and bathroom. We place the maximum force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches eat the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and die. After the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then perish. A successful German cockroach infestation may sometimes take up to a month to work since we have to await the egg capsules to hatch.

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

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjoining rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them throughout the day, it most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they could gain entrance to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into assumptions.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They also can 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 potential harborages and a determination if it was brought in with certain items.

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