German cockroaches on the loose

With a notorious reputation, German cockroaches are a huge nuisance to both households and businesses. Their presence does not only send shivers but deemed to inflict risk on sanitation and health. These cockroaches are much larger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one nasty pest that brings frustrating chaos.

Notorious for their world-wide supply, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to approximately 12-15mm in length. Females carry 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 wet, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

German roaches are mainly seen during the night. If you see these types of cockroaches during the day, there’s a substantial infestation present. They also leave excrement droppings that look like black pepper. It is important to be aware of the location of the excrement to treat in these areas, however, remove it with a vacuum cleaner as soon as possible. The germs from these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. The majority of the roach population is found in the kitchen or bathrooms.

Out of that capsule can come up to 36-48 eggs. That means just 1 roach can spawn 384 more roaches. As you can see, you can have quite a pest problem in just a short time with German roaches. That’s why it’s important to eliminate roach eggs when you treat for cockroaches. Simply eliminating the live roaches won’t fix the problem.
