There may be as many as 3 or 4 generations produced per year. Cockroaches develop from eggs, which are contained inside a capsule. There may be as many as 48 eggs in one capsule. The adult female carries this egg capsule with her until the young are ready to leave the capsule. The young can be differentiated from the adults by their size and the fact that they lack wings.
German cockroaches are one of the most challenging insects to control.
The key to control is properly placing insecticides where the cockroaches will contact them. Keeping surfaces clean of food debris and grease. Placing glue traps in areas where cockroaches infestations are suspected. These traps will help locate infestations by trapping pests near their harborage. Fixing plumbing leaks quickly and reducing any other sources of moisture.
