Cockroaches: Resilient Pests You Need to Know About
Cockroaches are among the most common household pests worldwide, known for their resilience and ability to adapt to various environments. These insects thrive in warm, humid spaces and are often drawn to homes due to food, water, and shelter. While there are thousands of cockroach species globally, only a few are considered pests, such as German and American. They are notorious for spreading bacteria, triggering allergies, and contaminating food. Cockroaches are nocturnal and can survive for weeks without food but require water. If you spot one, it’s likely there are many more hiding nearby. Keep your home clean, seal cracks and crevices, and address any leaks or moisture issues to prevent infestations. Proper pest control measures, including traps, insecticides, or professional exterminators, are essential in managing cockroach populations effectively. Don't let these pests take over your space—be proactive in keeping them at bay!
