German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this insect is little, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it is not the size of your 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter edge over the mind, then it’s an American roach.

The German roach is easily transported. It comes from the grocery store, providers (commercial) or your buddies and neighbours. When you buy groceries, they could catch a ride in one of the bags and can be inadvertently introduced into your pantry or your kitchen cabinets

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop 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.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see 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 their time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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 area and make sure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Eliminate 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 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?

Generally, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is drawn to water. Reducing access to water sources in your home can help reduce a roach infestation.

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully carried out with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and control of pests, simple things such as keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be found and treated. It may not be possible to remove all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent supply of cockroaches is carried into the premises via packages or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
