German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious standing, German cockroaches are a massive 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 are one nasty pest that attracts annoying havoc.

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12-15mm in length. Females carry 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 per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses 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 take note of the location of this excrement to treat in these regions, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger allergies and asthma. Nearly All the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms.

You can also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is large enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they have rarely seen throughout the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A few basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and can pass through small openings such as 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 as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will 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 to the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
