GERMAN COCKROACH, Blattella germanica



German cockroach adults normally reach 10-15mm in length and are yellow/brown with two longitudinal dark marks on the pronotum. Their wings cover the whole length of back

They usually hide during the day and stay in a localised area, however, when overcrowding becomes a problem they will move on in small groups.

Capable of climbing smooth and rough surfaces the Blattella germanica is invariably found in kitchens & bathrooms. Germanica carry their egg cases until nymphs are nearly ready to hatch at which point they are dropped. The nymphs then normally hatch within 24hrs

Advice for Dog Flea

We recommend Agrodelta is recommended as a powerful residual treatment in homes and hostels. Agrodust should be used for longer term protection where spraying is not desirable or possible. Also use Fortefog Mini Fumers.
