German Cockroaches Control

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 Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

German cockroaches like to live close to their food and water source which are generally in the kitchen and bathroom. We place the max force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches eat the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and perish. When the cockroach egg capsules hatch the infants eat the gel then die. A successful German cockroach infestation can occasionally take up to a month to work because we must wait for the egg capsules to hatch.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with two dark distinctive strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe on their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there is a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

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 due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75 percent of their time in these places breeding.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

To start with, in controlling the German cockroach infestation, consider first to wash your household and surrounding area and be sure that everything is mess-free. Below are simple things you can do to prevent these pests from festering around:

• Eliminate indoor trash or keep them emptied
• Maintain trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food isn’t left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.
• Keep dishes clean, no residue of food remaining
• All kitchen appliances (microwaves, toasters, ovens, refrigerators and stoves) should be clean
• Maintained in a sterile 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

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventive measures like cleaning the household and surrounding areas can help in keeping cockroaches at bay. You can do this by keeping your windows and doors shut and excellent standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment 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.

If insecticides have been used in a building, there’s a possibility that the German cockroach simply scattered to another area. These harborages will need to be found and treated. It may not be possible to remove all the German cockroaches in a building completely if a consistent source of cockroaches is carried into the premises via bundles or food shipments. You can discuss this with our licensed technicians for effective cockroach control in your home or business.
