Why your office/workplace requires pest control?

How can you identify German cockroaches?

When you find a cockroach in your kitchen, chances are high that it is a German cockroach. However, you may still look for certain identifying features to be sure. The colour of these cockroaches ranges from light brown to tan and they have two parallel stripes right behind their neck. German cockroaches have wings and are capable of flying. However, they tend to run on their legs most of the time. If you suspect a cockroach infestation but aren’t sure, you may hire our pest control team to carry out an inspection and preventive measures.

How does a German cockroach infestation take place?

As German cockroaches are very common, it doesn’t take much for an infestation to break out in a kitchen. There are a variety of ways in which yours might get infested.

• Cockroaches or their eggs might get transported straight into your kitchen along with the groceries you purchase. Up to fifty German cockroaches can hatch from a single egg.
• In case you live in an apartment, the chances of a cockroach infestation are particularly high. Cockroaches can easily spread through the building if any of your neighbours do not hire pest control services to get rid of an infestation in their home.
• German cockroaches are quite common in restaurants and other commercial kitchens if the space is unclean. This is primarily due to the availability of ample food.

Hence, do not be surprised upon finding German cockroaches in your kitchen as they can infest spaces very easily. However, you may seek the guidance of our experts regarding the prevention of a cockroach infestation.

What problems does a cockroach infestation pose?

Like any pest that can cause an infestation, German cockroaches pose several threats. These are mostly hygiene-related problems as the cockroaches infesting kitchens can easily contaminate any food. An infestation of cockroaches is particularly dangerous as they carry a wide variety of diseases that they can spread rapidly.

Restaurants, cafes and other similar commercial establishments can easily run into trouble if they do not keep cockroach infestations in check. Quite often, the restaurants found to have cockroach-infested kitchens receive heavy fines. Uproars resulting from the discovery of cockroaches in food or utensils in restaurants aren’t uncommon either. A cockroach infestation is a troublesome situation for the customers and the staff alike.
