German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach Is one of the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants and hotels. German cockroach (eggs included) are "brought in" usually on man’s belongings, luggage, boxes or packages. They produce the most eggs, have the shortest development cycle, the best survival rate of the young, and the most adaptive feeding habits of the majority of the roaches.

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 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 wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

At a restaurant, they’ll come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. 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 seen active during the day, it probably is because of 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 compared to most other cockroaches; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.
