German cockroaches on the loose

The German cockroach is one of the most common roaches found in apartment homes, restaurants, and hotels. German cockroaches (eggs included). A large German roach population will produce a foul odor. These roaches prefer food, moisture, and warmth. Sanitation measures are critical in controlling German roaches. German Roaches can be a significant health hazard in restaurants.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely spread to other countries, especially those with tropical climates. The adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in approximately 1 month and the nymphs thrive to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outside and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

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 in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay near food and water source. Ladies replicate one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are usually found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit other areas if there’s a heavy population or you have 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 during the day, it probably is because of 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.
