"Whatever It Takes!"
|
German COCKROACHES
|
Compliments
of the NPMA |
|
Color: light-to-medium
brown with two dark parallel stripes the long-way on the
pronotum
Legs: Six
Shape: Oval
Size: 5/8-inch (16 mm) long
Antennae: Yes |
Females are slightly darker, and have wider bodies, and more
rounded abdomens than males. Nymphs have two dark parallel
stripes the whole length of their bodies. They breed all year
round indoors in humid places at about 70oF ( 21oC ). They
produce 30-40 eggs in a capsule (otheca) approximately three
months after they first hatch, and then produce another
capsule about every 28 days after that.
Threats
Cockroaches have been reported to spread at least 33 kinds of
bacteria, six kinds of parasitic worms, and at least seven
other kinds of human pathogens. They can pick up germs on the
spines of their legs and bodies as they crawl through decaying
matter or sewage and then carry these into food or onto food
surfaces. Germs that cockroaches eat from decaying matter or sewage are
protected while in their bodies and may remain infective for
several weeks longer than if they had been exposed to cleaning
agents, rinse water, or just sunlight and air. Recent medical
studies have shown that cockroach allergens cause lots of
allergic reactions in inner city children. They were even
shown to cause asthma in children. These allergens build up in
deposits of droppings, secretions, cast skins, and dead bodies
of roaches. |

Prevention
In most
cases, Parker Pest Control Inc., will
use a very fine boric acid powder. The powder is applied with a
patented pressurized machine, that
applies an electrostatic charge to the powder to give it the
ability to cling to just about anything. This
process assures complete elimination. With
Parker Pest Control's exclusive P.E.S.T.® (Pest Elimination Systems Treatment) program, houses are treated just one
time and given a one year
money-back warranty. |
NOTE: Most
Commercial businesses require monthly
applications.
