Their behaviour and habits.
They thrive in most any climate, the warmer the better. They are mostly nocturnal and tend to run away from the light. For up to a month cockroaches can live without water, and up to 3 months without food. It’s remarkable for them, but regrettable for you if they’ve taken up residence in your house. If you’ve noticed one or more cockroaches in your kitchen chances are you have an infestation. If so, there are a few reasons you need to take action immediately.
Cockroaches can spread disease.
Think of them as “allergen smugglers”. Cockroaches carry allergens into and around your home. Their feces, saliva, and body parts are covered with germs that can aggravate our immune systems. This can trigger allergies, particularly in those suffering from asthma. Cockroaches also spread bacteria like salmonella, E coli, parasites, and other pathogens. These can lead to symptoms like stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In some cases life-threatening blood infections can occur in vulnerable members of our population--children, the elderly, and those with health conditions.
How to kill cockroaches.
There are a few do-it-yourself methods of killing cockroaches that you can try at home. Glue traps work by luring the cockroach inside where it becomes stuck and unable to escape. This is fine if your problem involves a limited number of pests. Poison traps are more effective at eliminating larger infestations because the cockroaches take the poison back to the nest, but it may take several days and leave you with a mess of dead roaches, not the mention the dangers of poison around your pets and children.
