German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach Is among the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants and hotels. German cockroach (eggs included) are "brought in" usually on man’s belongings, luggage, boxes or packages. They produce the most eggs, have the shortest development cycle, the best survival rate of the young, and the most adaptive feeding habits of most of the roaches.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females take 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes 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 look 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 eliminate these is using vacuums.

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 most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage 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 compared to 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 control program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only require a little bit of food to sustain them. You need to:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
• 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
• Eliminate empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by maintaining your doors and windows closed and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a massive difference.

The German cockroach can move and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and may 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 as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

Doing a DIY method can’t simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional help, especially for unidentified infestation, is important so as to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, it is possible to discuss this with our certified technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
