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 could be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it is not the size of your thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it’s 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 using a lighter border over the head, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 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 indoors, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

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

You can also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely 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 located 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 probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting places; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

The first and easiest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches in your home is to perform preventive measures. This includes cleaning your household and surrounding area and ensure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• 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 must be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

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

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and out of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and can pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to discover 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 sugar, protein, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to remove any potential food sources lying around your house or business. But if an infestation is supposed, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for effective cockroach prevention or control in your house or business.
