Adult German cockroaches are about 17 mm long and light brown except for the shield behind the head marked with two dark stripes, which run lengthwise on the body. The nymphs are wingless and nearly black with a single light stripe running down the middle of the back. Egg capsules are light tan. Mainly found in kitchens or anywhere where there is food preparations and water supplies. Cockroaches are one of the most adaptable and successful insects.
They can infest any type of structure from homes to commercial establishments. They can be brought in with purchased merchandise and can travel freely within a building along wires and pipes. While they are mostly a nuisance pest, they are capable of carrying disease pathogens as well as causing allergic reactions or asthma attacks.
Over the counter insecticides are not always effective against cockroaches. As soon as the effects of the insecticide wear off perhaps due to temperature or simply the surface on which the insecticide has been applied being cleaned, surviving cockroaches will breed once more.
At Zapem pest control, we use a powerful bait which does not cause death straightaway which allows cockroaches to consume the bait and return to the harborage site to contaminate other cockroaches Each cockroach that comes in contact with our bait can contaminate up to 40 other cockroaches by way of contact, feces, or the other roaches feeding on its poisoned carcass. This domino effect knocks out roach populations at an incredible rate. Not only is it powerful but it is also long lasting and contains ingredients which are considered so tasty in the cockroach world, that no cockroach can resist eating it. All it takes is one visit from our technician and your cockroach problems will be no more.
