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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches can 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 your thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it is a female wood roach. If It’s 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 border over the mind, then it is an American roach.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called 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 weeks to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, generally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are busy 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.

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

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen active during the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they could gain entrance to buildings: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in goods brought into assumptions.

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 inspection to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the region.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is 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 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 home or business.
