Just How Creepy are Cockroaches?

Cockroaches Can And Will Eat Everything

They might not be the smartest creatures on the planet, and most common household pests, but they sure are good at surviving. Cockroaches will eat anything they can get their hands (or mouthparts) on. That includes food scraps, garbage, and even feces. This is one of the reasons why they're so difficult to get rid of. Even if you think you've eliminated all the food sources they have access to, they can still find something else to eat.

Cockroaches Are Fast And Agile.

Cockroaches are extremely fast; they can move up to 3 miles per hour. They're also very agile. They can squeeze through tiny cracks and crevices that you wouldn't even think were possible.

Roaches Don't Need Their Head To Survive.

These creatures can survive without their head for up to a week because they simply don't need their heads to survive. Cockroaches breathe from their sides, and they can go weeks without food. Also, they don't bleed so if you cut off a cockroach's head, its body will continue to move for a while before finally dying.

Cockroaches Can Hold Their Breath For Up To 40 Minutes

Cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes. This is another adaptation that helps them survive in extreme environments. If you are planning on drowning your cockroach infestation away then you might want to think again because cockroaches can survive underwater for extended periods of time.

Cockroaches are Really Old

The cockroach species is one of the oldest groups of insects. They've been around for over 200 million years, that means that they were around long before the great dinosaurs.

Why Are Cockroaches Such a Big Deal Anyway?

Cockroaches are some of the most common household pests and most resilient creatures on the planet. They can survive for weeks without food and thrive in dirty environments.

The cockroach species can spread diseases such as salmonella, typhus, and dysentery. In addition and more common in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, cockroaches can cause allergies and asthma attacks.

Roaches love to eat! Their small, squeeshy bodies make it easy for them to squeeze into small containers where a delicious meal awaits them. Unfortunately, as soon as they come in contact with the food in your pantry or your dog’s kibble they start their contamination process — simply because these little critters are covered in nasty bacteria from crawling around in feces and other nasty waste.

Not only do they contaminate food with their bodies but they also do with their saliva and feces, leading to nasty allergies, asthma attacks, and a sleugh of diseases.

The most common types of cockroaches are the German cockroach, American cockroach, and oriental cockroach.

Cockroaches also bite. And although their bites may not pose any danger to your health, they are enough reason to cause concern. Their allergens set off a chain reaction that creates skin irritation and asthma attacks in people who have allergies or sensitive skin, leading to more serious problems if left untreated.

“Definitely Recommend!! They explained everything on the phone and showed up the next day and serviced my home and yard to perfection. They even gave me an extra treatment around my shed. It’s been 3 weeks now, haven’t seen any ants or wasps or critters. Will edit my review if I see something in the future. Overall 10+”
