German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that’s a huge nuisance to household and environment.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The adult 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 outside and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They may also emit foul odors too due to their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. DO NOT simply clean up these excrements without wearing protective gears. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. It is important to take note of the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The vast majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in such 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; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully carried out with a few basic steps. When it comes to prevention and management of pests, simple things like keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They also can travel from a neighbouring flat 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 possible harborages and a determination if it had been brought in with certain items.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s 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 remove all of the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried to the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
