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 American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable 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, normally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in 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 the excrement to treat in these regions, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The germs from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. Nearly All the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

Out of this capsule can come up to 36-48 eggs. That means just one roach can spawn 384 more roaches. As you can see, you can have quite a pest problem in just a brief time with German roaches. That’s why it’s important to remove roach eggs once you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches will not resolve the issue.
