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 black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it isn’t 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 larger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with 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 countries, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs flourish to survive and develop into adults between 6 months to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, generally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outside and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark identifying strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe on 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 other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them 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 nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of their time in these places breeding.
