The level of activity is the main attribute when calculating the cost of treatment programs, as infestations where activity has been left untreated for a prolonged duration will result in increased activity causing bed bugs to spread that will need a more extensive service consisting of more visits of treatment.

The size of the bed bug infestation is also taken into account as activity covering and spread across sizeable surface areas will need higher volumes of insecticide (depending on the method of treatment) and increment the duration time of treatments.                                                                                                                                                             Appointments:                                                                                                                                                                                Before treatments are carried out pre-treatment check lists are provided detailing the preparation requirements required so an effective service takes place.

A brief description:                                                      The German cockroach Blattella Germania.

German cockroaches are “between” 0.5cm-1cm in length. Visually Cockroaches differ in colour from being light brown/tan in colour, to dark brown and black. Cockroaches have two distinct parallel lines running from their head to the base of the wings.

Although cockroaches do have wings, unlike many other species of cockroach the German cockroach isn’t able to fly.

Life span and reproduction:                                    The life span of the German cockroaches on average is between 4-6 months depending on several factors such as victuals availability, living and temperature conditions.

The German cockroach is the more expeditious residential reproducing species of cockroach, their able go from eggs to procreating adults just under 2 months.

Once fertilised a female German cockroach will engender an egg sac called an ootheca that’s annexed to her abdomen, each ootheca will engender between 20-50 nymphs approximately   30 on average.

The nymphs that emerge from the ootheca will be approximately 2mm in length and mostly black, they will go through a seven stage life cycle and once consummate they will be sexually mature at 7-8 weeks.

Habitat and living conditions:                               German Cockroaches are nocturnal, so are customarily only visible at night or when it’s dark, although they can be visually perceived on occasions in minuscule numbers during the day.

German Cockroaches will reside and infest all sorts of buildings such as hospitals, shops, fast food outlets, buildings utilized for food production and food processing’s as well as domestic properties, fundamentally building or dwellings inhabited by us.

Cockroaches ‘are not able to survive in a cold environment, or in buildings or areas that lack the warm 20-30c they require.

Buildings and dwellings occupied by humans will provide everything required to give German cockroaches the impeccable living conditions.

In most domestic properties German cockroaches will first appear in the kitchen area, but if the problem is not dealt with expeditiously, it will result in a larger infestation that will spread to other rooms and areas of the property.

Although German cockroaches are customarily associated with poor hygiene, it’s possible for cockroach infestations to occur in relatively clean properties, as they can peregrinate from a neighbouring property that might have an infestation that’s been left untreated.

It’s also possible to infest a property or building from buying items or food products from a shop or business that has a issue with cockroaches, as they can facilely be brought into the premise or business undetected in shopping bags, on the products or items you have purchased. 

I have additionally come across infestations due to customers purchasing used kitchen appliances from a premise with German cockroaches, that’s resulted in an infestation at the property where the appliance has been installed.

Cockroaches will mostly be found in the kitchen areas of building or properties and will find and nest in places like the backs of fridge motors, kettle bases, microwaves and cupboards also inside boilers.

Cockroaches will be visible in particular areas of kitchen, the majority of the cockroaches will be living in inaccessible areas, as they prefer to nest in cracks and crevasse behind kitchen units, door frames, skirting boards and behind tiles etc 

If the quandary is left untreated the infestation will get worse and the cockroaches will culminate up and will start causing damage to electrical goods and also cause extensive and expensive damage to circuit boards inside boilers and other appliances, that will result in expensive repair bills that could have been avoided if resolved early on.

A German Cockroaches diet will consist of all types of foods as they are scavengers, they will live off and consume our aliment and food waste, but ideally foods that are high in sugar and fat will provide cockroaches with the best dietary requisites.

In cockroach infestation where food availability is minimal cockroaches will resolve to cannibalism in order to survive. 

Health and disease:                                        German cockroaches are a rigorous hazard to health, foods and items they come into contact with can get contaminated and indirectly transmit diseases via human interaction when handling or consuming contaminated items.

The most common diseases associated with German cockroaches are, salmonella, campylobacter, E coli and many more diseases as well as agitating and causing asthma and other allergies. 

How to determine the presence of cockroaches: Conspicuously visual sightings in the areas discussed already will be the most sizably indicator you are dealing with cockroaches.

Also finding ootheca’s in draws, on surfaces and excreted droppings will also be visible around nesting points and in boiler trays that will indicate the presence of cockroaches..
