German cockroaches on the loose

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

Notorious for their global distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable 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 per year. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers wet, humid conditions and are typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

We can easily spot German cockroach infestation since they leave evidence, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that seem like black pepper and are mostly concentrated in one area. If you see some, DO NOT simply clean up these increments without wearing protective equipment. The bacteria from such excrement droppings are known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to eliminate these is by using vacuums.

You can also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely nausea-triggering odor. This can be evident when an infestation is large enough and spread over adjacent rooms. The majority of the roach population is located in the kitchen or bathrooms. Cockroaches are active at night and they’ve rarely seen during the day. If you spot them during the day, it most likely is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.
