It’s been said that at the end of the world only cockroaches will survive. That’s because they’ve been around for some 320 million years and they have great ability to adapt to situations.
These are hardy insects capable of remaining active for a month without food and able to survive on limited resources.
Cockroaches vary greatly across their 4600 species, but they are all generally omnivorous and can dine on foodstuffs like bread, fruit, leather, glue, skin flakes, dead insects and leather.
​Cockroaches are part of the same family as termites.The 30 species known to be pests to mankind feed on human and pet food, can leave an offensive order, and transport pathogenic microbes on their body surfaces.
If you have cockroaches, don’t battle them alone.
