Do You Need German Cockroach Control?
German cockroaches are a small indoor cockroach species commonly found around kitchens, appliances, cupboards and other warm sheltered areas. They reproduce quickly and usually require a specialised treatment and follow-up program.
German cockroach activity is treated separately from a standard general pest-control service.
German Cockroach Identification
German cockroaches are small, light brown cockroaches with two dark parallel markings behind the head. They are commonly found:
- Inside kitchen cupboards
- Under sinks
- Around refrigerators, dishwashers and other appliances
- In cracks and gaps near food and moisture
- Around food-preparation and storage areas
Daytime sightings may indicate a higher level of activity, although identification and inspection are required before determining the extent of the infestation.
Steps to Support German Cockroach Treatment
- Wipe down benches and food-preparation areas.
- Store food in sealed containers.
- Repair leaking taps and remove standing water where possible.
- Clean beneath and around appliances.
- Keep bins covered and empty them regularly.
- Avoid using aerosol sprays during a professional baiting program unless instructed.
- Follow all preparation and follow-up instructions provided.
The treatment program may use professional baiting and insect growth regulator to target different stages of the cockroach life cycle. Follow-up is commonly required.
