Hey everyone, I've been battling a German cockroach treatment life cycle problem infestation and needed to learn about the cockroach development stages to target my treatment better - from what I've discovered, these pests go through three main stages starting with the egg capsule that requires approximately 30-40 days to hatch, then they enter the nymph stage and go through multiple molting stages over 6-12 weeks before reaching adulthood, and the complete metamorphosis from cockroach egg to adult can take roughly 100-200 days depending on heat and humidity - has anyone had good results with specific development phases with their treatments?
