Few facts about cockroaches, that you are ignorant of.


Most homeowners and tenants are unaware of the health and safety risks associated with cockroach infestations, including the allergies and asthma triggered by cockroach allergens, and the germs and bacteria they have been known to spread.

What may not be as widely known is the fact that cockroaches are a very interesting and resilient pest that exhibits some very odd behavior and survival tactics.

1. Cockroaches spend 75% of their time resting and can withstand temperatures as cold as 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. A cockroach can live for a week without its head. Due to their open circulatory system, and the fact that they breathe through little holes in each of their body segments, they are not dependent on the mouth or head to breathe.

3. The cockroach only dies because without a mouth, when it can't drink water and dies of thirst.

4. A cockroach can hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can even survive being submerged under water for half an hour. They hold their breath often to help regulate their loss of water.

5. Cockroaches can run up to three miles in an hour, which means they can spread germs and bacteria throughout a home very quickly.

                     Prevention

Cockroach control and management are important for health and safety reasons.
When you notice cockroaches in your homes, it's good you terminate them immediately and get preventive measures to avoid the from coming around often.
