German Roaches
The German cockroach is the most common species of the cockroach. These are the ones you really don't want to, but often find in your kitchen or bathroom. German cockroaches can breed at a rate of up to six generations per year. They can fit through an opening as small as 3/8 inch in width. They are ½”-5/8” long, light brown to tan, with two dark, almost parallel stripes located on their backs, just behind their heads. German cockroaches will feed on almost anything, including soap, glue and toothpaste. German cockroaches prefer to live in warm, humid places close to food and moisture sources. They are frequently found in residential and commercial kitchen environments, and bathrooms. They are good hitchhikers: commonly introduced to your home in cartons, boxes, & grocery bags.
German cockroach control is dependent on customer interaction, population level, and dispersion of the colony through previous treatment attempts.
Our German cockroach treatment is a specific, corrective treatment, not included in our Preventative General Pest Control Service. In order to reverse the problem and interrupt the life cycle, a combination of non-repellent products, baits and Insect Growth Regulators are utilized.
