German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious standing, German cockroaches are a huge 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 supply, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females carry 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 located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses 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 close to food and water source. Females reproduce 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 have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

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 can also 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 was 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 eliminate all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried to the premises via packages or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
