German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious reputation, German cockroaches are a huge nuisance to both households and businesses. Their existence does not only send shivers but deemed to impose danger on sanitation and health. These cockroaches are much bigger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one nasty pest that brings frustrating chaos.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The adult 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 flourish 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 to say 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.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark, identifying strips 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 close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in such harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

To start with, in controlling the German cockroach infestation, consider first to wash your household and surrounding area and ensure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the household and surrounding areas can help keep cockroaches at bay. You can do this by keeping your windows and doors shut and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

There are plenty 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?

German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food humans leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to eliminate any potential food resources lying around your house or business. However, if an infestation is suspected, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach control or prevention in your home or business.
