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 homes, 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 huge nuisance to household and environment.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in about 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 active 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’ll come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed 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 rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the time in such 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 have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

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

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) must be clean
• Maintained in a clean condition so that it’s 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?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they could gain entrance to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into assumptions.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch 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 was brought in with certain items.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages need to be found and treated. It may not be possible to eliminate all of the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your house or business.
