Most Common Specie of Cockroaches in Calgary :
- German Cockroach The German cockroach is one of the most common and troublesome pests found in Calgary. These small, light-brown cockroaches have two distinctive dark stripes running down their back and are highly adaptable to indoor environments. Due to Calgary’s cold winters, they thrive indoors where warmth, food, and moisture are readily available like kitchens and bathrooms.
Reproduction:
German cockroaches reproduce rapidly, making infestations difficult to control if not addressed early.
- Egg Cases: Each female produces egg cases containing 30–40 eggs.
- Hatching Time: Eggs hatch in about 1–2 weeks under favorable conditions.
- Nymphs: Young cockroaches (nymphs) go through 5–7 molts before becoming adults, a process that takes 6–8 weeks.
- Reproductive Rate: A single female and her offspring can produce thousands of cockroaches in a year.
This high reproductive rate makes them a persistent pest that requires quick and thorough intervention.
How Roaches Get into Your Home:
German cockroaches are expert hitchhikers and can enter homes in various ways:
- Luggage and Bags: They may be brought in on suitcases, backpacks, or purses from infested locations.
- Grocery Bags: Eggs, nymphs, or adults can hide in food packaging or cardboard boxes.
- Appliances: They often hitch rides inside used appliances like microwaves, toasters, or refrigerators.
- Shared Walls: In multi-unit buildings, cockroaches can travel between units through cracks, vents, or plumbing.
Why Roaches Invade Homes:
German cockroaches invade homes for three main reasons:
- Food: They are omnivorous and consume crumbs, grease, starches, sugary residues, and even non-food items like soap or glue.
- Water: Moisture is essential for their survival, making kitchens and bathrooms common infestation sites.
- Warmth and Shelter: Heated indoor environments provide the perfect year-round habitat, especially during Calgary’s cold winters.

- Disease Transmission:
- Carry bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Staphylococcus, contaminating food, utensils, and surfaces.
