* 10 German Cockroach Facts

If you get a roach infestation, there’s a likely chance German roaches are the culprit. Some of the main things to know about German cockroaches include:

1. German cockroaches can carry salmonella and other diseases.

2. The pronotum (protective plate behind the head) on the German cockroach has two longitudinal dark stripes. This helps to identify them.

3. The ootheca (egg case) of the German cockroach contains between 35–40 eggs, which take one month to hatch.

4. German cockroaches have an extraordinary rate of reproduction. One female cockroach and her offspring can theoretically produce hundreds of thousands of offspring a year!

5. A German cockroach takes from six weeks to six months to reach maturity.

6. These cockroaches prefer areas of high temperatures and high humidity.

7. They are able to climb on smooth surfaces because they have a sticky pad on their feet; this sticky pad is called an arolium.

8. German cockroaches prefer to spend their lives hidden and protected. One sighting of a roach can mean many more are hidden inside walls, behind cabinets, inside appliances, and more.

9. They regularly spread to new areas in a serious infestation.

10. Cockroach skins have been tied back to causing severe asthmatic reactions in some people.
