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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could 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 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 head, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark identifying stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in color, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay near 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’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You may also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely 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 most likely is due to 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.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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

• Eliminate indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure food is not left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.
• Keep 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 has to be picked up
• No food left out in the open
• Sweeping or vacuuming of any food particles or crumbs
• Eliminate empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A few basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and out of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or location 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 review to discover all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the region.

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 supply 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.
