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 flexible feeding habits of most of the roaches.

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 annually. 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.

These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They may also emit foul odors too due to their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. Do not just clean up these excrements without wearing protective gears. The bacteria from these excrement droppings are known to trigger allergies and asthma. It is important to observe the location of this excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it using a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms.

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 probably is because of 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 these 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 are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

To begin with, in controlling the German cockroach infestation, consider first to wash your household and surrounding area and ensure that everything is mess-free. Below are easy things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep 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
• 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
• Eliminate empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the household and surrounding areas can help keep cockroaches at bay. You can do this by keeping your doors and windows closed and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. That’s 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 sort of cockroach species invading the area.

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