German Cockroaches
German cockroaches may grow up to 5/8 of an inch in length. They are light brown or tan and have two distinctive black stripes running horizontally behind their heads. Females have a broader abdomen than the males. German cockroaches have wings, although they rarely use them for flying. Instead, they run wherever they need to go. Their nymphs are much smaller than the adults and have a dark abdomen and tan thorax with dark brown or black stripes on it.
Where are German cockroaches found?
German cockroaches are a common pest found throughout the entire world. They live outside, but are also found living inside in the dark, warm, moist areas of Quad City homes and other buildings. Their flat bodies are designed to perfectly hide inside cracks, crevices, and other dark, tight spaces. Like other species, these roaches enter homes while foraging for food and water, but in most cases, they enter in bags, cardboard boxes, or used appliances and furniture that are brought into a home. They move easily throughout homes and apartment buildings using plumbing pipes as their own personal highway system.
What do German cockroaches eat?
German cockroaches feed on a wide variety of food, feeding on whatever they come across; from soap and toothpaste to the glue in book bindings. They are scavengers and will take advantage of any small crumb left behind in your home.
