German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much bigger than American and Australian cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they’re one foul pest that is a tremendous nuisance to environment and household.

With a global distribution as a one of the sort roach species, the adult female German roach can lay 35 to 45 eggs cases or known as ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. When these eggs hatch in about 1 month, the nymphs flourish to survive and develop into adults between 6 weeks to 6 months. German roaches are fast breeders and they can multiply normally 3 to 4 generations per year. Like most other species of cockroaches, German cockroaches are nocturnal pests. They are most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and is typically located in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark, distinctive stripes 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 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’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 spill over to other chambers. These roaches are mostly active at night. If German roaches are observed active during the day, it probably is due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a shortage of food and water supply. Cracks and crevices are their harborage areas; they spend about 75% of the time in such harborages. First instar nymphs need a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults need inch width. German cockroach nymphs are smaller compared to most other cockroaches; thus, they are able to conceal themselves in many places and stay protected.
