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 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 the thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it’s a female wood roach. If It’s 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 head, then it’s an American roach.
German cockroaches prefer to live near their water and food source that 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. When the cockroach egg capsules hatch the infants eat the gel then die. A successful German cockroach infestation can sometimes take up to a month to work because we have to await the egg capsules to hatch.
At a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of workers. 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 spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the time in these harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32″ whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.
To begin with, in controlling the German cockroach infestation, consider first to wash your household and surrounding area and be sure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:
A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and 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 place to another and can pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to discover all potential harborages and as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the area.
German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food people leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to eliminate any potential food resources lying around your house or business. But if an infestation is supposed, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for effective cockroach control or prevention in your house or business.
What actions should I take prior to the arrival of my pest control expert?
We will need access to the room edges as it will be necessary that we spray the skirtings. We would require that you remove clothing articles, newspapers, children’s toys etc from the ground surfaces. Items of food will also need to be cleared from table tops and benches.
Can the spray cause any problems to humans?
The spray we use is often used in public places such as hospitals and schools and causes no ill effects to humans.
