Who will win the fight and be the hardest to kill?
In South Africa we have 3 main Cockroaches that are of great concern to Public, Domestic and Commercial Health.
These Cockroaches vary in size and we will share some key facts and also see which one of these put up the biggest fight when it comes to the eradication of them.
German Cockroach 1.27cm - 1.58cm
Oriental Cockroach 2.2cm - 2.7cm
American Cockroach 3.5cm-4.1cm
German Roaches have a phenomenal rate of reproduction and they love heat, humidity and they stay in hiding most of their lives, if these Pests start appearing and roaming within plain sight, you have a huge infestation on your hands.
The Oriental Roach only lives for 180 days, the female can produce 8 egg capsules with 16 eggs per capsule, which makes these Pests also a great concern to control if the right measures are not put in place by Pest Control Service Technicians.
The American Roach is the largest one of the bunch, it can hold its breath for up to 30 minutes under water, which makes flushing them down the toilet not such a great option. These Roaches love wet locations and therefore makes it of utmost importance to limit water supplies in a facility.
Now the heavy weight of this division is not as one would think the largest Roach of the bunch but actually it is the smallest of the lot that is the most difficult one to control, yes the German Roach makes the saying "it is not the size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog" to ring absolutely true.
For Pest Control Service that will take on any of these Pests in a fight, call Roach Approach S.A today.
