Cockroaches are persistent and resilient pests that can cause significant problems in homes and businesses. Understanding their habits, identifying signs of infestation, and implementing control measures are crucial for effective management.
Cockroaches are typically between 1.5 to 5 cm long, with flat, oval-shaped bodies, long antennae, and six legs. Common species include the German, American, and Oriental cockroaches, varying in size and color from light brown to nearly black.
Cockroaches are nocturnal and thrive in warm, humid environments. They are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, where they have access to food and moisture. They can eat almost anything, including crumbs, grease, and paper.
Cockroaches can trigger allergies and asthma, contaminate food, and spread bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella. Their presence is a health concern, especially in settings with vulnerable populations.
By maintaining cleanliness and promptly addressing any signs of infestation, you can manage cockroach populations and protect your environment from their harmful effects.

Cockroaches are incredibly resilient and can survive for up to a week without their heads! This is because they breathe through small holes in their body segments and can sustain themselves without a brain for a short period. They eventually succumb to dehydration since they can’t drink without a mouth.
