German cockroaches on the loose

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

Notorious for their world-wide distribution, German cockroaches are easily recognisable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12-15mm in length. Females take 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, normally 3-4 generations annually. As it is most commonly found inside, it prefers moist, humid conditions and are 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 strips behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in color, with a light stripe on 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 often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit other areas if there’s a heavy population or you’ve run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

You can also found their egg cases that look like coffee beans, dark brown in colour. Accompanied by egg cases is their exceptionally 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 due to overcrowding in their hiding places or a lack of water and food supply. Cracks and crevices are their nesting areas; they spend about 75% of their time in these places breeding.
