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 can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the mind, then it’s 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 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 months 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.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark distinctive stripes 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 close to 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 different areas if there is a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active 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 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 are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Generally, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach discovered indoors is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water resources in your house can help reduce a roach infestation.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and may pass through small openings like light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to discover all potential harborages and as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the area.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional help, particularly for unidentified infestation, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
