German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this pest is small, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it is not the size of your thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it is 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 larger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown using a lighter edge over the mind, then it is an American roach.

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable 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, generally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation since 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 equipment. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is using vacuums.

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

Your German Cockroach Control Program

A cockroach infestation has to be quickly identified and determined to make sure that it does not get out of control. Cockroaches are considered pests due to the risks they pose. Below are basic things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not 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) should be clean
• Maintained in a clean condition so that it’s 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?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows closed and very 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 like light switch plates. That is why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and as well as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

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 remove any potential food resources lying around your home or business. But if an infestation is supposed, it is possible to contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach control or prevention in your home or business.
