German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the household 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.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks 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.

In a restaurant, they’ll come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be put in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the feminine 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 spread over adjacent rooms. They move around freely at night, however, if you see them throughout the day, it most likely is because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of their time in these places breeding.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they can gain entrance to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into premises.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They also can travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and may pass through small openings like light change plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all potential harborages and a determination if it had been brought in with certain items.

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 home, it’s best to develop a program. The most effective roach control typically requires more than 1 type of treatment method.
