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 could be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it is not the size of the thumb and it is 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter edge over the mind, then it’s an American roach.

With a worldwide distribution as a one of the kind roach species, the mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 eggs cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. When these eggs hatch in approximately 1 month, the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks to 6 months. German roaches are fast breeders and they can multiply generally 3 to 4 generations per year. Like most other species of cockroaches, German cockroaches are nocturnal pests. They are most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and is typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark, identifying strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in 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 usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit other areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You can also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious 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’ve rarely seen throughout the day. If you spot 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 places; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

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 structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into assumptions.

Cockroaches like German cockroach can thrive indoors and outside. They can move in and out of the construction and can even travel from neighbouring household to another location. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a comprehensive site inspection to discover all potential harborages and as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the area.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be located and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all of the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
