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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of your thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it is a female wood roach. If It’s 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 mind, then it’s an American roach.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in about 1 month and the nymphs thrive 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 houses and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark distinctive strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in color, with a light stripe on their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Females reproduce 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’s 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 spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack 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 require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; hence, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and remain protected.
