Additional Information


 

Cockroaches - Blattella germanica

To solve your cockroach problem now! call us on 0800 0567 231.

The adult cockroach is light-brown with two dark lines/stripes on its pronotal shield (longitudinal)
Female cockroaches are generally darker than the males with broader abdomens than that of the male. Cockroaches are winged insets thus broadening their range of incidence.

The female cockroach carries its unborn offspring until it is within 1-2 days of hatching. The offspring emerge and can easily infest small crevaces in the immediate surface. Establishment of an infestation is further aided by the fact that both adult and immature stages feed on the same type of food.

This species of cockroach finds humid settings preferential and can be found throughout buildings. They have an advanced level of mobility give their ability to climb vertically even on materials such as glass and tiled surfaces.
