German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the household is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and mostly 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’s a huge nuisance to environment and household.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs flourish to survive and develop into adults between 6 months to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, generally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outdoors and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark, distinctive stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay near food and water source. Ladies replicate one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there is a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

If the population is large enough, they will spread over adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see 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 areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.

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 need a small amount of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Remove indoor trash or maintain them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers must be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) must be clean
• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it Is food free and grease free
• All pet food needs 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?

Generally, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is drawn to water. Reducing access to water sources in your house can help decrease a roach infestation.

There are plenty of other prevention methods as well, such as daily cleaning and proper food storage, to stop an infestation. But how do you get rid of cockroaches once they have already entered your home?

Roaches enter houses in search of food, water and shelter. Once they have infested an area, they could multiply quickly, posing a threat to your relaxation and health. It is important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can lead to food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes. In large numbers, they are also able to generate a foul odour. Before deciding the way to kill roaches in your home, it’s ideal to develop a program. The most effective roach control typically requires more than 1 type of treatment method.
