German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this pest is small, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium 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 is reddish brown to black, it’s 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 roach is easily transported. It comes from the supermarket, suppliers (commercial) or your friends and neighbours. When you buy groceries, they can grab a ride in one of those bags and can be inadvertently introduced to your pantry or your kitchen cabinets

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of workers. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

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

Your German Cockroach Control Program

If you notice any kind of cockroach in your property, contact a pest control professional who knows how to get rid of cockroaches. But, you can also do simple things to be able to control German cockroach infestation. Below are basic things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and often 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) should be clean
• Maintained in a clean condition so that it’s food free and grease free
• All pet food has to be picked up

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the household and surrounding areas can help keep cockroaches at bay. You can do this by keeping your windows and doors closed and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place 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 review to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

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 help, particularly for unidentified infestation, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
