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 houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that’s a huge nuisance to environment and household.

German cockroaches prefer to live close to their water and food source that is usually in the kitchen and bathroom. We place the max force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches consume the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and die. After the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then perish. A successful German cockroach infestation can sometimes take up to a month to work because we have to wait for the egg capsules to hatch.

These creepy crawlers will leave marks that indicate their presence like excrement and egg cases (ootheca). They may also emit foul odors too because of their growing infestation. Their excrement droppings that look like black pepper. DO NOT simply clean up these excrements without wearing protective gears. The bacteria from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. It is important to observe the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms.

If the population is large enough, they will spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are seen active during the day, it most likely 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 the time in these harborages. First instar nymphs need 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.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

A couple of basic preventive measures are the first step in preventing roaches invading your area. These things include by keeping your doors and windows shut and good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They also can travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and can 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 was brought in with certain items.

German cockroaches are amazing scavengers. In an urban environment, roaches rely heavily on the food people leave behind. Like us, their diet mainly consists of protein, sugar, and carbohydrates. The best way to prevent cockroaches is to eliminate any potential food resources lying around your home or business. But if an infestation is supposed, you can contact us to discuss your requirements for successful cockroach prevention or control in your house or business.
