German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the household is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and mostly found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to household and environment.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other nations, 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 about 1 month and the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active 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.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches throughout the day, there’s a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It’s important to be aware of the location of this excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. The majority of the roach population is found 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 probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food 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 control program, sanitation is one of the first things to take into account. German roaches only require a little bit of food to sustain them. You need to:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently 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) must 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
• 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 very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all possible harborages and a determination if it was brought in with certain items.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional help, especially for unidentified infestation, is important so as to find 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.
