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 portion of the thorax. If it is not 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 head, then it is an American roach.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in about 1 month and the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 months to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning to say they are busy nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outdoors and prefers wet, humid areas such as 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’s important to take note of the location of the 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 asthma and allergies. Nearly All the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms.

Notorious for their worldwide supply, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12 — 15mm in length. Most commonly found inside, they prefer wet, humid conditions and are generally found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach control program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a small amount of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) must be clean
• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it’s food free and grease free
• All pet food needs to be picked up
• No food left out in the open
• Sweeping or vacuuming of any food particles or crumbs
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the household and surrounding areas can help in keeping cockroaches at bay. You can do so by keeping your doors and windows shut and excellent standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

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

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 found and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent supply of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
