German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach Is one of the most common roaches found in apartment houses, restaurants and hotels. German cockroach (eggs included) are "brought in" usually on man’s belongings, luggage, boxes or packages. They produce the most eggs, have the shortest development cycle, the best survival rate of the young, and the most adaptive feeding habits of most of the roaches.

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, 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 annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are typically found 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 kitchen or storage areas. They can also develop 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 spill over to other rooms. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen active during the day, it most likely is due to 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 the time in these harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to 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 control program, sanitation is one of the first things to take into account. German roaches only require a little bit of food to sustain them. You want to:

• Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Keep 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) 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
• Get rid of empty soft drink bottles, paper bags and cardboard boxes

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Generally, roaches can vary anywhere from one-half to 3 inches long. For example, the most common roach found indoors is the German roach. The German roach is attracted to water. Reducing access to water resources in your house can help reduce a roach infestation.

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and control of pests, simple things such as 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 could multiply quickly, posing a threat to your comfort and health. It’s important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can lead to food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes. In huge numbers, they are also able to generate a foul odour. Before deciding how to kill roaches in your home, it’s ideal to develop a program. The most successful roach control typically requires more than one type of treatment method.
