German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this insect is little, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of your 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter border over the mind, then it’s an American roach.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs flourish to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning to say they are busy nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outdoors and prefers wet, humid areas such as 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 on their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay near food and water source. Ladies replicate one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

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 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 require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and management of pests, simple things like keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge 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 may 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 as well as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. Professional help, especially for bugs that are unknown, is important in order to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
