These feisty germ spreaders are the most common roach species found in homes, apartments and even restaurants.  (Mmmmm….more roach soup please!)  German roaches are the number one cause of upper respiratory diseases among infants.  Infestations can even trigger asthma attacks in adults.

Ever wonder what a German roach infestation smells like?  In a home where an infestation has occurred, you may smell a musty or sour odor permeating throughout.  This is because German Roaches produce odorous secretions, which can even affect the flavor of various foods if strong enough.

Controlling these bothersome buggers can be quite the challenging feat.  Female roaches produce one egg capsule every 6 weeks.  Each capsule contains up to 48 eggs.  Just before these capsules are ready to POP!, they are carefully placed into crevices and other hiding places where they’ll be safe and sound until hatching time.
