Cockroaches

cockroaches control vancouver

Cockroaches are among the most common of insects. Fossil evidence indicates that Cockroaches have been on earth for over 300 million years. Because cockroaches are so adaptable, they have successfully adjusted to living with humans.,

The German Cockroach (Blattella Germanica) is the most common cockroach found in homes and food service establishments and has the highest reproduction rate. German Cokroaches are brown to dark brown in color.  They have two distinct parallel bands running the length of their pronotum.  The sexes can be distinguished by the more slender body of the male.  Adults are approximately ½-inch in length.

After mating, the female Cockroaches produce an “egg capsule” containing 30-40 eggs.  1-2 days before the eggs hatch, the female drops the capsule in a sheltered area.  The development time from egg to adult takes about 100 days.  The female will produce about 3-4 egg capsules in her lifetime which is about 100-200 days. Because of the high rate of reproduction, in very short order, the home or apartment can be totally infested with thousands of cockroaches.

Cockroaches will eat virtually any item that has nutritional value.  This includes dog food, any human food items and even soap and glues.They prefer to live in small cracks and crevices inside kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where moisture is present. When infestations are very bad, they can be found throughout an entire home.

The German Cockroach has been identified as a trigger of severe allergy and asthma issues in sensitive individuals especially children. Cockroaches have been shown to carry bacteria on their bodies and are potential sources of salmonella food poisoning.

Most people understand just how difficult Cockroaches can be to get rid of. In fact their toughness is the stuff of urban legend.
