Cockroaches in general

There are different types of cockroaches.
In the Netherlands, German and American cockroaches are the most common.
The length of these animals varies from about 1 to 8 centimeters, and they have an oval, flat body.
They are usually brown to black in color.
They have six strong hook-shaped legs that allow them to walk up to 5 km per hour and even jump.
Cockroaches are omnivores and can survive for 10 to 40 days without food.
Cockroaches leave droppings everywhere.
For example, if you see small black dots in the back of kitchen cabinets or drawers, they could be from cockroaches.

A cockroach usually enters your home or business because it has come with someone who has been on vacation abroad.
The cockroach can also enter unnoticed through moving boxes, baskets, carpets, and so on.
Once the cockroach has established itself somewhere, it can easily reproduce and spread quickly in an environment with food (leftovers).
They won’t go away on their own; Very thorough control is necessary to completely eradicate both the cockroaches and their eggs.

Cockroaches: Rapid Reproduction and Health Risks

Cockroaches can reproduce quickly.
Depending on the type of cockroach, the environment, temperature, and food supply, a female cockroach can produce up to 30 eggs and offspring.
Cockroaches reproduce by depositing egg packets.
A cockroach lives for an average of half a year and during that time a female cockroach lays about 4 to 8 packets with an average of 30 eggs per packet.
Just one cockroach can produce up to 240 offspring.

Health Risks of Cockroaches

Cockroaches leave bacteria and diseases on food and on their droppings, which is harmful to our health.
That is why the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) regularly carries out inspections in restaurants and other food chains.
Hygiene is of great importance in the Netherlands, and finding even one cockroach can be a reason to temporarily close a business.
