German Cockroach

Roaches are hated by many; loved by few, mostly scientists and those over-the-top animal activists. Homeowners top the list of roach-haters with good reason: the bug is filthy and carries diseases they potentially transmit to humans.

There’s hundreds of species of roaches waiting to invade your home searching for food and comfort. The German cockroach is one of the worst of the worst.

Characterized by a light tan to brown color with two dark stripes running parallel down its back, the German cockroach carries diseases, breeds faster than other roach species, and causes a foul odor inside the home.

German Roaches carry bacteria from feces on their legs. They leave these bacteria behind on all the surfaces they crawl across, including kitchen countertops and cabinets, food, clothing, and most any surface in the home. It’s horrible to think about and even more dangerous to your health and well-being. German Roaches leave an unpleasant odor in the home and breed faster than other roach species.

• The most common species of cockroach in the world.
• Can live for up to one-month without eating
• Can cause disease, including Gastroenteritis (food poisoning, diarrhea, etc.)
• Carries bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella on its legs
• Most roach species mature to adulthood in 12-months.
