German Cockroach
COCKROACHES
The German cockroach is the most common and difficult-to-eliminate roach species. They reproduce rapidly and develop resistance to pesticides, making professional treatment essential.
SIGNS OF INFESTATION
- Small dark droppings resembling coffee grounds or pepper
- Musty, oily odor in kitchen or bathroom areas
- Egg cases (oothecae) behind appliances or in cabinets
- Live roaches visible at night near food or moisture
FAST FACTS
A single female can produce up to 400 offspring in her lifetime.
German cockroaches can develop pesticide resistance within a few generations.
They prefer warm, humid areas near food and water sources.
They can trigger asthma and allergies — especially in children.
PREVENTION TIPS
- Keep kitchen appliances clean and free of grease buildup.
- Fix leaky pipes and eliminate standing water.
- Seal cracks around plumbing, outlets, and cabinet edges.
- Store food in airtight containers and empty trash regularly.
