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 could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it is not 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 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 countries, especially those with tropical climates. The adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or known as 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 houses and commercial properties.

These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They can also emit foul odors too due to their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. DO NOT simply clean up these excrements without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. It is important to take note of the location of this excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The vast majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjoining rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them during the day, it most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach control program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a little bit of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it’s food free and grease free
• All pet food needs to be picked up
• No food left out in the open
• Sweeping or vacuuming of any food particles or crumbs
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

On average, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water sources in your house can help reduce a roach infestation.

There are lots of other prevention methods also, such as daily cleaning and proper food storage, to prevent an infestation. But how do you get rid of cockroaches once they have already entered your home?

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional help, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
