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 medium 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 the thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it is a female wood roach. If it is 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 with a lighter border over the head, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their global supply, 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, normally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes 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 on 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 have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You may also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious 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 probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when starting your German roach management 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:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure 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 clean condition so that it Is 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?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and control of pests, simple things like keeping doors and windows shut and good 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 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 specialist help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the region.

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