German Cockroach
The German Cockroach (Blattella germanica) is nocturnal and in Ireland is found indoors in heated buildings. It can carry disease organisms and if no control measures are carried out can rapidly spread.
Habitat & Distribution
German Cockroaches are not very tolerant of cold, so in Ireland are only found near human habitats. Because of its liking for the conditions found in the galleys of ships it is also known as the Steamfly.
German Cockroach Control
Controlling the German Cockroach can prove difficult because of the prompt emergence, and large number of nymphs from each egg case. It is also smaller than other cockroach species making it easier to hide. 95% of the overall population in a property must be killed for any pest control treatment to be effective because of the fast reproductive cycle. The use of baits with residual sprays and dusts will control most infestations, particularly if placed in deep voids and crevices.
