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 could be distinguished from other roaches by two dark parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of the thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it’s 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 bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter edge over the head, then it is an American roach.

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 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, normally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in 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 colour, with a light stripe on their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to 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 other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You may also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious when an infestation is large enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they’ve rarely seen during the day. If you spot them during the day, it probably is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of the time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

The first and easiest step to control the nesting of German cockroaches at home is to do preventive measures. This includes cleaning your household and surrounding area and ensure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:

• Eliminate 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 should be sealed.
• Maintain dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
• Maintained in a sterile 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?

On average, roaches can range anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found inside is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water sources in your home can help decrease a roach infestation.

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic steps. When it comes to prevention and management of pests, simple things such as keeping doors and windows shut and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

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