German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the household is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and mostly found in homes, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that’s a tremendous nuisance to household and environment.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 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, generally 3-4 generations per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

At a restaurant, they will come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the commercial kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop 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 chambers. 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 food and water 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 require inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller than most other cockroaches; thus, they have the ability to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

Also, when beginning your German roach management program, sanitation is one of the first things to consider. German roaches only need a little bit of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Remove indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make sure food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often 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) must be clean
• Maintained in a clean condition so that it’s food free and grease free
• All pet food needs 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
