German Roaches

GERMAN ROACHES
People often get upset when they find German cockroaches in their home, especially when their home is spotless and next to immaculate. Truth is, German roaches can find their way into your home through crates, cardboard boxes, paper sacks, grocery sacks, laundry, food products, suitcases, lumber, purses, and yes, even your clothes...no matter how clean your home is.

Roaches don't need much food to thrive. Small deposits of grease, sugar or other food residue in difficult to access areas, such as: drains, behind refrigerators, under dishwashers, or inside cracks and crevices in kitchen cupboards or bathroom cabinets allow these resilient pests to live, breed and multiply. Even when they don't have anything else to eat, they'll eat each other!

Each German roach egg sac contains between 28-36 roaches. Once they hatch, they go from nymph to adult in 2 weeks and are ready to multiply again. If you get even 2 egg sacs hatched in your house, you've got yourself an infestation. If they are seen during the day, it is usually because their hiding places are overcrowded due to a large population or there is a shortage of food and water supply.
