Cockroaches are a common pest problem worldwide and if you have them at your home Tulsa exterminator can offer solutions. Cockroaches are known for carrying various pathogens that include bacteria, viruses and parasites. All of these pathogens can be deadly and lead to various health issues. The dropping , saliva and shed skins can also trigger allergic reactions to some individuals. Cockroaches also contaminate food and kitchen surfaces posing a risk of foodborne illness. They also leave behind unpleasant odors which can permeate the environment. In this article let’s learn about cockroach, their eggs and what you and your Tulsa exterminator can do to remove them.
Cockroach eggs
Female cockroaches can produce egg cases called ootheca containing multiple eggs. The types of eggs produced by different species varies. For example the German cockroach ootheca contains about 30-40 eggs while the American cockroach’s ootheca contains 14-16 eggs. They reproduce very rapidly as a female can produce ootheca every few weeks. For instance,a German cockroach lays an ootheca every 20-25 days.
Incubation period varies according to species. Generally it ranges from 24 to 70 days. The incubation period is better for the cockroach as it speeds up the incubation period. After hatching, the nymphs emerge from the ootheca. The hatch rate is typically very high which significantly contributes to the infestation.
Cockroach ootheca is very sophisticated. It is designed to protect the developing eggs from environmental hazards and predators. The color of ootheca is brown and it has a hard protective outer shell. Interestingly some species carry the ootheca until hatching to ensure that it is well protected while some other species hide it in hidden and secure locations. If you find any signs of cockroach infestation you should contact the Tulsa exterminator before the infestation gets out of control.
