German cockroaches on the loose

What do German cockroaches look like and where do you see them? Usually found in the kitchen area, this pest is small, 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch in length, and medium yellowish-brown. German roaches can be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal portion of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of the thumb and it’s reddish brown to black, it is a female wood roach. If It’s dark mahogany and the size of your thumb, then it is a smoky brown roach. If it is bigger (up to 1.5 inches), has wings, and is reddish-brown with a lighter edge over the head, then it’s an American roach.

German cockroaches like to live close to their water and food source that are usually in the kitchen and bathroom. We put 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 die. When the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then die. A successful German cockroach infestation may occasionally take up to a month to work because we have to await the egg capsules to hatch.

In a restaurant, they’ll come on supplies, especially soda syrups, and be placed in the kitchen or storage areas. They can also come into commercial kitchen facilities by hitching a ride in the handbags of employees. Inside the home, the female lays a light brown egg capsule every 16-24 days — up to 8 egg capsules in her lifetime.

Notorious for their worldwide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12 — 15mm in length. Most commonly found indoors, they prefer wet, humid conditions and are generally found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they can gain entrance to structures: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in goods brought into premises.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and out of the building. They can also travel from a neighbouring apartment or location to another and can pass through small openings like light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires professional help. Pest control experts do a thorough site inspection to find all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

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 relaxation and health. It’s important to get rid of cockroaches before an infestation occurs. Roaches are known to carry bacteria that can result in food poisoning, diarrhea, allergies and skin rashes. In huge numbers, they are also able to produce a foul odour. Before deciding the way to kill roaches in your house, it’s best to develop a plan. The most effective roach control typically requires more than one type of treatment method.
