One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in homes, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a huge nuisance to environment and household.
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 moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.
At a restaurant, they’ll come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of workers. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.
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 shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these harborages. First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32″ whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; hence, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.
A cockroach infestation must be quickly identified and ascertained to ensure that it doesn’t get out of control. Cockroaches are considered pests because of the risks they pose. Below are basic things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:
Generally, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For instance, the most common roach found indoors 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 carried out with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and control of pests, simple things like keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.
Roaches enter houses in search of food, water and shelter. Once they have infested an area, they can multiply quickly, posing a threat to your relaxation and health. It’s important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes. In large numbers, they are also able to produce a foul odour. Before deciding how to kill roaches in your house, it is best to develop a plan. The most successful roach control typically requires more than one type of treatment method.
