Cockroaches
Cockroaches can be a problem in any facility that prepares and stores food items. Cockroaches contaminate food items, cooking and eating utensils, destroy paper goods and fabrics, and spread disease. German cockroaches, which are the more common indoor species of cockroach, can transmit Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, the hepatitis virus, and coli form bacteria. They can also spread typhoid and dysentery.
The German cockroach will mainly inhabit any area where food preparation occurs and bathrooms, because they favor to be in warm, humid areas that are close to food and water. The German cockroach reproduces the fastest, producing an egg case that carries as many as 30 young every few weeks.
The ThermaPureHeat® process is effective in stopping the spread of cockroach populations. Below is a chart, published by Forbes and Ebeling in 1987 of four different temperatures and their corresponding times to kill German Cockroaches.
