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

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other countries, 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 thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 months 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.

In a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the kitchen or storage areas. They can also come 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.

Out of that capsule can come up to 36-48 eggs. That means just one roach can spawn 384 more roaches. As you can see, you can have quite a pest problem in just a short time with German roaches. That’s why it’s important to eliminate roach eggs when you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches won’t resolve the problem.

The first and simplest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches in your home is to do preventive measures. This includes cleaning your family and surrounding region and make sure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

On average, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach discovered indoors is the German roach. The German roach is drawn to water. Reducing access to water resources in your home can help reduce a roach infestation.

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 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 review to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the sort of cockroach species invading the region.

German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food humans leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to remove any potential food resources lying around your home or business. But if an infestation is supposed, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach prevention or control in your home or business.
