German roaches are significantly more difficult to get rid of than traditional American roaches. When you think of a roach infestation, these are the bugs that likely come to mind. You will see that they are smaller in size, and more reddish brown in color than are traditional cockroaches. You will often find them crawling around water sources in your kitchen, laundry areas, or bathrooms. Due to the fact that one single German roach female can be responsible for 30-40 eggs at a time, it is important to contract a pest professional immediately when you begin to see German roaches crawling around.
