The German cockroach Is among the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants and hotels. German cockroach (eggs included) are “brought in” usually on man’s belongings, luggage, boxes or packages. They produce the most eggs, have the shortest development cycle, the best survival rate of the young, and the most flexible feeding habits of most of the roaches.
Notorious for their world-wide distribution, 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. 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.
These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They can also emit foul odors too because of their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. DO NOT simply clean up these excrements without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. It is important to observe the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.
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 due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the 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; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.
The first and easiest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches at home is to do preventive measures. This includes cleaning your family and surrounding region and make sure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:
Preventive measures like cleaning the family 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.
The German cockroach can move 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 like light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.
Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches, one example of that is the use of pesticides or insecticides. Not all roaches can die from it, in fact, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. professional help is important so as to find and treat this infestation, especially large ones. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
