why cockroach control matters

  • Can spread bacteria and trigger allergies
  • Indicate unsanitary conditions if left unchecked
  • May cause stress and discomfort for family members

Cockroach Reproduction Rate

In Toronto’s indoor environments, German cockroaches reproduce rapidly year-round. A single female can produce up to 350 offspring in her lifetime, with eggs hatching in about 28 days. This quick reproduction means a small problem can become a major infestation within months, especially in multi-unit buildings common in Toronto. The city’s climate, with humid summers and heated winters, provides ideal conditions for cockroach growth. This rapid multiplication increases health risks such as allergies and asthma triggers, emphasizing the need for early detection and professional intervention to protect Toronto families and comply with local health standards.
