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 houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to household and environment.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12-15mm in length. Females take 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 per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark, distinctive stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay near food and water source. Ladies replicate one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

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 probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

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

Cockroaches like German cockroach can thrive indoors and outside. They can move in and out of the construction and can even travel from neighbouring household to another location. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a comprehensive site inspection to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional assistance, particularly for bugs that are unknown, is important so as to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
