Your Tulsa pest control company can help you with pantry pets such as cockroaches. Cockroaches get into our homes and love the temperatures that we keep our homes at. This is because they’re originally from a tropical environment. So when we keep our homes around 70°F, that’s perfect for them. But no longer are they confined normally only to their tropical environment. These invasive species now have gotten all the way around the world and are on six of the seven continents. So in this article, let’s take a good hard look at cockroaches, their life cycle and what you and your Tulsa pest control company can do to stop these insects from invading your kitchens and pantries.
Cockroach Life Cycle
Cockroaches go through their life cycle through an incomplete metamorphosis. This means that they start as eggs. This egg is placed in an egg Sac by the mother and then usually hidden in a cracker crevice somewhere. The German cockroach which is the most prevalent cockroach that we see actually keeps that egg sac on its back which is quite unique. Regardless, once these eggs hatch, these small nymphs will emerge from each of those eggs. A nymph is a smaller version of the larger adult insect.
These babies will fend for themselves from this point on. They’ll feed upon the droppings of the larger more mature cockroaches and on any of the food particles stuck to the exoskeletons of these larger adults. The larger adults are much more likely to venture away from the nest and go out for food and drink. This is why you usually will see the larger cockroaches at the beginning of infestation but once you start killing them off the smaller ones show up then. After the Cockroach goes to a certain point, it will need to molt or remove its exoskeleton to allow a younger, softer exoskeleton to emerge.
