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 moderate yellowish-brown. German roaches could be distinguished from other roaches by two black parallel stripes on the anterior, dorsal part of the thorax. If it isn’t the size of the thumb and it is reddish brown to black, it’s a female wood roach. If it is 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 using a lighter border over the head, then it’s an American roach.

Notorious for their global 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 per year. As it is most commonly found indoors, 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 because they leave evidence, these are droppings, egg case (ootheca) and extremely foul odor. Their excrement droppings that look 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 these excrement droppings have been known to trigger asthma and allergies. The best way to remove these is using vacuums.

You can also found their egg cases which look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their extremely nausea-triggering odor. This can be obvious 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 because of overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting places; they spend about 75% of the time in these places breeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my pets at home affected by the treatments you employ?

Your pet’s safety is a top priority for us. You may rest assured that any active component they might come into contact with, either when it’s still damp or by inhaling or ingesting the substance, is very small.

Does the spray pose harm to humans?

The spray we apply is usually used in public places like schools and hospitals and has no adverse effects to human beings.

What do I do if happen to touch one of the areas sprayed?

It’s only of concern if the spray areas are still wet. If this happens, wash with soap and lots of water as fast as you are able to. After a relatively short period duration, your carrier tap water has gone out of the water and won’t cause any harm to you when you come in contact with the area.
