German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one foul pest that is a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

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 carry 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 inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation because they leave signs, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that seem like black pepper and are largely concentrated in one area. If you spot some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective gears. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is using vacuums.

You may also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious when an infestation is large enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they have rarely seen throughout the day. If you spot them during the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting places; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach control program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a small amount of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied

• Make sure food isn’t left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining

• Maintained in a clean condition so that it Is 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?

Preventive measures like cleaning the family and surrounding areas can help in keeping cockroaches at bay. You can do so by keeping your doors and windows shut and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and may pass through small openings like light change plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all possible harborages and a determination if it had been brought in with certain items.

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 home or business. But if an infestation is suspected, you can contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach control or prevention in your house or business.
