German Cockroaches Control

German cockroaches on the loose

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

German cockroaches like to live close to their food and water source that are generally in the kitchen and bathroom. We put the max force gel in strategic areas around the kitchen and bathroom. The cockroaches consume the gel and die and then their partners in crime cannibalise them and perish. When the cockroach egg capsules hatch the babies eat the gel then die. A successful German cockroach infestation may sometimes take up to a month to work because we have to await the egg capsules to hatch.

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

Notorious for their global 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 inside, they prefer moist, humid conditions and are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms in houses and commercial properties.

Your German Cockroach Control Program

If you notice any kind of cockroach in your property, contact a pest control specialist who knows how to get rid of cockroaches. But, you can also do simple things to be able to control German cockroach infestation. Below are basic things you can do to avoid these pests from festering around:

• Keep trash dumpsters clean
• Make certain food is not left in the sink strainers and often run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.

• Maintained in a sterile condition so that it’s food free and grease free

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Preventing cockroaches can be successfully completed with a few basic measures. When it comes to prevention and management of pests, simple things like keeping doors and windows shut and very good standards of cleaning and tidying that can make a huge difference.

The German cockroach can move well within a building. They can also travel from a neighbouring flat or location to another and can pass through small openings like light change plates. Many times they are brought in with grocery items, grocery bags, cartons, handbags, and luggage. A professional inspection is important to find all possible harborages and a determination if it was brought in with certain items.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there’s a risk that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, particularly for unidentified infestation, is important so as to find and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
