Cockroaches<\/a> are a terrible pest to have within a home or business environment.\u00a0 During the warmer months, cockroaches typically reproduce at faster rates, but the warmth of human habitats helps the cockroach in their efforts to multiply with ease.\u00a0 Cockroaches are believed to have inhabited the earth for over 300 million years and are considered to be the most successful group of animals in existence.<\/p>\n

The German cockroach<\/a> is among the most common of the cockroach species that infests apartments, houses, restaurants, hotels and other types of buildings.\u00a0 German cockroaches are \u00bd to 5\/8 of an inch in length.\u00a0 These cockroaches have wings, but do not fly.\u00a0 Their color ranges from tan to light brown and they prefer to live in bathrooms and kitchens as they require a good source of water to survive.<\/p>\n

German cockroaches prefer moist environments that have a good deal of warmth.\u00a0 These scavengers feed upon all types of food sources such as meats, starches, grease, and sweets.\u00a0 These pests rest and hide during the daytime and are active and forage for food and water at night.\u00a0 Seeing a cockroach during the daytime hours is a good indication of a bad infestation.\u00a0 Pesticide application can also drive the German cockroach from its hiding place as it looks for a way to escape the pitfalls of the insecticide.<\/p>\n

The German cockroach is a formidable pest to eradicate because of its ability to reproduce in human dwellings at a fast rate.\u00a0 Female German cockroaches produce more eggs per egg capsule (approximately 48 eggs per capsule) than other species of cockroaches.\u00a0 When those eggs hatch, they reach sexual maturity faster than other species do as well.\u00a0 The results are a rapid population growth which can only be controlled with the help of a Monmouth County, NJ pest control<\/a> professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
