German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious reputation, German cockroaches are a massive nuisance to both families and businesses. Their existence does not only send shivers but deemed to impose risk on sanitation and health. These cockroaches are much bigger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one nasty pest that brings annoying havoc.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 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 wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

At 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 feminine lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

You can also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is big enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they have rarely seen during the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting places; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and 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 apartment or location to another and may pass through small openings like light change 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 is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be located 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 house or business.
