The German cockroach is one of the most common roaches
found in apartment houses, restaurants, and hotels. German cockroaches
(eggs included), are "brought in", usually on man's belongings, luggage,
boxes or packages. All it takes, is bringing in one egg capsule, six
months later you do have an infestation.
German Cockroach Appearance:
Adults are 1/2 inch- 5/8 inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark distinctive
stripes behind the head. The young (nymphs) are wingless, smaller and much
darker in color, with a light stripe on their backs.
German Roach Diet:
Will eat anything, will stay close to food and water source.
Habits and Biology of German Cockroaches:
Females produce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains
25-45 eggs. The female will carry the egg capsule with her until it is
ready to hatch. The young(nymphs) will be able to breed in as little as
36 days. Adult German roaches can live up to one year These roaches are
mostly active at night .

If they are seen during the day, it is usually because their hiding
places are overcrowded due to a large population or there is a shortage
of food and water supply.
Any crack or crevice located near a source of food and/or water is prime
harborage, and they spend about 75% of their time in such harborages.
First instar nymphs require a crack of about 1/32" whereas, adults require
a crack of about 3/16" in width.

Infestations are generally found in kitchens and bathrooms, but can inhabit
other areas if there is a heavy population or you have run them into each
other with the repellent effect of insecticides.
Recommendations for German Roach Control:
It is one of the most challenging to manage and eliminate.
To accurately and completely eliminate these roaches you need to attack
them from several tools using baits,
dusts, growth regulators and pheromone traps.
They have the most eggs produced, shortest development cycle, best survival
rate of the young, and the most adaptive feeding habits of most of the
roaches. Because of this "high reproductive potential" they have
a greater ability to develop resistance against insecticides.
The technology of the pest control market has switched to an integrated
pest management like baiting
,dusting, and the use of insect growth regulators and pheromone traps
against the German roach, as opposed to just using a residual or contact
insecticide either in an aerosol form or liquid form.
Roach Control in Restaurants
However in restaurants,you may have to still
spray with a residual insecticide such as :
Orthene
instead of baits.
We encourage you to call us for recommendations, in that we have
had a long history of helping restaurants solve their problem, but needs
to be handled on a individual basis.
Another product that is recommended for restaurants is:
 Mop-Up.
A mop rinse insecticide that leaves an odorless, invisible residue which
cockroaches cannot detect.
The products we recommend have not had a resistant problem.
Recommended Products: Baits, Aerosols, Insect Growth Regulators(IGR'S)
and Roach Traps for Residential Use
1. COCKROACH BAITS: Advance Cockroach Bait Gel,
Avert Dry Flowable Bait, Maxforce Roach Bait Gel, and Maxforce Roach Bait
Stations
Avert Dry Flowable Bait Placements:
- Avert Dry Flowable is intended for application with the provided
crack and crevice bait extension tube. Apply insecticide directly into
cracks and crevics.
- Apply lightly and uniformly to infested areas.
- Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices and hidden surfaces
around sinks and storage areas, behind baseboards, around doors, and
windows, behind cabinets, stoves, and behind refrigerators.
- For compete application instructions, please read : Avert
Dry Flowable Product Label.
 MAXFORCE
ROACH GEL has been proven very effective against the German Roach.
This bait comes in two forms:
A.Fipronil-FC
B.Hydramethlynon
Click Here: For
major differences between Fipronil and Hydramethylnon
We also carry 
Maxforce FC Magnum Roach Bait Gel-Fipronil.
The active ingredient in Maxforce FC Magnum, Fipronil, provides a unique mode of action that works through both ingestion and contact, knocking down roaches and ants that eat or simply touch the bait. Either way, one contaminated roach or ant kills many others where they live and breed. The Domino Effect® still achieves population control, but with faster visible results.
The application is very simple and easy, coming in a syring. The gel
formulation enables you to place the material into cracks and crevices
and harboraging places.
Typical harboraging areas for German Roaches and places for
treatment of Maxforce Roach Gel:
Before treating any areas it is best to first take a flashlight and
check these types of areas for nesting sites. You will be looking for
their excrement droppings(looks like black pepper).
You may also want to use a aerosol with pryethrin like 
CB-80
, or 
V One Pyrethrum Aerosol sprayed to "flush-out" roaches out of these harboraging places
.
These pyrethin areosols will kill on contact, and serve you to find out
where the German Cockroaches are nesting.
Once you have determined where the roaches are nesting, it may be easier
to know where to apply the Max Force gel bait.
Maxforce or Advion
Bait Placements:
- Behind kitchen cabinets and counter tops.
- Behind anything hanging on the wall, such as pictures, clocks, posters,
etc.
- Behind, next to, and under the stove.
- In the corners up under the sink and other cabinets.
- In stored paper bags and boxes.
- Around pipes, cords, and cables that come out of the wall.
- Behind and under bathroom fixtures.
- Behind the medicine cabinet and vanity.
- In any cracks or crevices around shelves or wood trim.
Each roach feeding on Maxforce Roach Gel will kill up to 40 other roaches
via droppings and dead bodies.
Roaches are cannibalistic and will eat other dead or dying roaches.
The roaches are not social insects like ants and termites, they do not
carry the bait back to feed the young.
When baiting is important to re- bait in the areas where the the
roaches are taking the bait. Paying attention to this will speed
up the process.
 Advion
Arena Roach Bait and or Maxforce
Roach Bait Stations are both useful as a roach bait. The use
of the roach stations are slower acting than the gel forms, but
will last for several months without drying out.
Advion Arena Roach Bait is the newest on the market with great results.
2. Insect Growth Regulators for Cockroaches
Using insect growth regulators like 
Gentrol Aerosol breaks the cycle.
It attacks the male nymph roach(mutating reproductive abilities) and causes
the pregnant female to consume the bait when she would normally not want
to consume food during part of her pregnancy. We carry Gentrol in the
aerosol form,
 Gentrol
liquid form,and  Gentrol
point source form.
Cockroach Traps

Another important tool, would be the use of roach traps with a pheremone
to lure them inside the trap: Victor
Pheromone Roach Trap is and excellent roach trap.
These traps are excellent for monitoring tools as well.
4. Other Aerosols and "Bombs" to Kill Cockroaches
- Use a residual insecticide aerosol like
D-Force
HPX Aerosol if you need a sliqhtly quicker start before killing
the entire roach population with Maxforce Roach Bait.
However the Maxforce Roach Bait is so effective ,many find they don't
need to use such an aerosol.
When using this residual insecticide
(D-Force HPX Aerosol), don't place the bait out yet, because it would
contaminate it.....wait about 10 days.
D-Force contains Deltamethrin.
- First we recommend using D-Force HPX Aerosol in all the
cracks and crevices as well as behind cabinets, under refrigerators,
behind stoves, ovens and dishwashers, if needed for the "initial
kill", if needed.
At this point you can use insect growth inhibitors such
as the Gentrol Aerosol, Gentrol Liquid or Gentrol Point Sources,
treating area and the cracks and crevices without contamination.
- Wait 10-14 days ,then apply
Maxforce Roach Bait Gel in numerous small bait placements in
cracks and crevices in cabinets and drawers, also place behind the
cabinets, under refrigerators, behind stoves, ovens, and dishwashers.
The D-Force HPX Aerosol is intended for an initial knockdown when there
is a need to cut out a percentage of the population immediately, the
Maxforce Roach Bait Gel is intended to really cut into the population
over the following two weeks, with the Gentrol Insect Growth Regulator
helping the baiting and breaking into the cycle.
We also carry other
insecticides, baits, and dust not listed here
We have combined many of these products inside kits, saving you money.
You can find this at:
German Roach Kit(Advance)
Aerosol "bombs" such as 
V TECH CLEAR OUT so commonly referred to are actually total release
aerosol cans.
They are very popular because they are perhaps the easiest way to kill
exposed roaches without much effort,just push the button and leave the
premises for a couple of hours.
Unfortunately, "bombs" do not contact many roaches that are
well hidden and they have no residual killing power.
