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 can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part 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 using a lighter edge over the head, then it is an American roach.

German cockroaches like to live close to their food and water source which are generally in the kitchen and bathroom. We place the maximum force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches consume the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and die. After the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then perish. A successful German cockroach infestation can sometimes take up to a month to work because we must wait for the egg capsules to hatch.

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation because they leave signs, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper and are mostly concentrated in one area. If you see some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from such excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is by using vacuums.

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

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic steps. 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.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and may 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 region.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important so as 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.
