How to Recognise a German Cockroach
Adult German cockroaches are usually around 13–16 mm long, with a light-brown body and two dark parallel stripes just behind the head. Young cockroaches are smaller and darker, without fully developed wings.
They often shelter near food, water and warmth, including behind kitchen appliances and inside cupboard gaps. Repeated sightings, dark droppings or young cockroaches in these spaces are useful details to share when arranging an assessment.
A clear photo can help narrow down identification, although an inspection may still be needed to confirm it.
How to Control German Cockroaches
Effective control starts with locating the activity. Your technician will check the affected areas and recommend treatment that reaches the relevant hiding and feeding places.
Cockroach gel bait may be placed close to these locations. Other methods may be recommended where the findings call for them, with an explanation of why each is needed. You do not need to choose the products yourself.
Follow-up may be needed to review remaining activity, including young cockroaches emerging after treatment. You can support the plan by removing accessible food residue, reporting leaks and leaving bait placements undisturbed.
Explore our gel bait treatment guide for the detailed explanation of how baiting works and what to expect afterwards.
