German cockroaches are a significant issue in Sydney and the Inner West because they reproduce quickly and may spread like a plague. One German cockroach female may produce up to 100,000 eggs annually, as they like warm, humid environments. 

The cost of cockroach eradication is determined by several factors, including the area treated, the type of treatment used, and the degree of your infestation. For example, treatments for Sydney’s German cockroaches and other pests start at $130 for the initial treatment. A required top-up treatment given three to four weeks later costs $100.

The German, Australian, and American are the three primary species of cockroaches that are often found in houses and businesses in Australia. 

The American cockroach is one of the biggest nuisance insects to infest houses and other buildings. The American cockroach, commonly referred to as the “Palmetto bug” since it inhabits trees, favors dark, damp, and undisturbed environments.  

They can be found in subfloors, basements, kitchens, roof voids, and bathrooms of houses. American cockroaches look like 35 to 40 mm long red-brown hue that sparkles. Males’ wings are longer than their bodies, while female wings barely touch their abdomen—runs (may fly at very high temperatures).  

Placing an insect growth regulator (IGR) like Tekko Trio Foam out to halt roach reproduction and a high-quality roach bait like Invict Gold to kill adult German roaches is one of the best methods to get rid of them. 

German Roach Spray Kit should be used by individuals who prefer to spray. It mixes Tekko Pro IGR and Alpine WSG pesticide, an insecticide that is not repellent (Insect Growth Regulator). After misting this liquid mixture into cracks and crevices, use the Shockwave aerosol to remove any roaches that may have been hiding on the previously treated surface. 

As a long-term solution, we recommend utilising Avert Flowable bait. It keeps going for a very long time. It serves as both bait and a tracking powder for roaches. The roaches that consume this powdered roach bait do so as the bride and groom. Only cracks, crevices, and beneath appliances will find the bait. Gel baits may be used since they can be positioned on flat surfaces. 

German cockroaches subjected to temperatures below 45 degrees perish after 10 hours. If exposed to a temperature below 14 degrees Fahrenheit, they will also pass away within an hour. They are also unable to withstand extreme temperatures.  

When exposed for two weeks at a temperature of 50 degrees, just half of the cockroaches survived. Cockroaches can’t control the temperature within their bodies since they are cold-blooded creatures. As a result, they perish when exposed to temperatures they don’t like.  

In conclusion, various cockroach species have varying rates of survival. They can survive if they can locate an environment with the correct temperature. And if the environment becomes too hot or cold, they will perish. These insects will perish whether you heat them or freeze them.
