Cockroach Life cycle.
The life cycle of a cockroach can be divided into three main stages: the egg stage, the nymph stage, and the adult stage.
-
Egg Stage: Female cockroaches lay eggs in oothecae, which are protective cases that hold multiple eggs. Depending on the species, the oothecae may be carried by the female until the eggs are ready to hatch or they may be deposited in a safe location. The incubation period for the eggs varies by species, but it typically ranges from a few days to a few months.
-
Nymph Stage: When the eggs hatch, they release immature cockroaches called nymphs. Nymphs look like smaller versions of adult cockroaches, but they lack wings and are usually lighter in color. As nymphs grow, they molt their exoskeletons several times before reaching adulthood. The number of molts and the time it takes to reach adulthood depend on the species, but it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
-
Adult Stage: Once a cockroach reaches adulthood, it can reproduce and continue the life cycle. Adult cockroaches have wings and are capable of flight in some species. The lifespan of a cockroach varies by species, but it typically ranges from a few months to a year.
Overall, the life cycle of a cockroach can be quite short, which allows them to reproduce quickly and become a pest problem if not controlled.

Control: The best way to control German cockroaches is to practice good sanitation and hygiene, such as keeping the kitchen clean, storing food in sealed containers, and sealing cracks and crevices where cockroaches can enter.
