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 could be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion 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.

Notorious for their global supply, 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, generally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found 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. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

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

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach control program, sanitation is one of the first things to take into account. German roaches only require a little bit of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Food containers must be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining

• Maintained in a clean condition so that it Is 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?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and may pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That’s 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 region.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
