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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of the 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 larger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the head, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 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 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.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark, distinctive strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjoining rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them throughout the day, it probably is due to 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.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach management program, sanitation is one of the first things to take into account. German roaches only need a small amount of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Eliminate indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure food is not left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Keep 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
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

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 closed and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and out of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires specialist help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection 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. If insecticides have been used, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional assistance, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
