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 black 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’s 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 larger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the mind, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their global supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12-15mm in length. Females take 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 moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

You may also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is large 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 most likely 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 percent of their time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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

• Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure food isn’t 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) must be clean
• Maintained in a clean 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?

Preventive measures like cleaning the family and surrounding areas can help in keeping cockroaches at bay. You can do so by keeping your doors and windows closed and excellent standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

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

Roaches enter homes in search of food, water and shelter. Once they have infested an area, they could multiply quickly, posing a threat to your relaxation and health. It’s important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can lead to food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes. In huge numbers, they are also able to generate a foul odour. Before deciding the way to kill roaches in your house, it is ideal to develop a plan. The most successful roach control typically requires more than 1 type of treatment method.
