What You Didn't Know About Roaches
- Roaches Don't Usually Live Inside Your Home
It is possible for cockroaches to live on your property and invade your home. But most of the time, the cockroaches you see in your house don't live there. They live outside, and they use entrance points they've found around your home to come in and out when they want food, water, and warmth.
- Cockroaches Are Not That Hungry
One solution a lot of homeowners use to eliminate roaches - sealing their food and storing it away - is simply not that effective, because despite how much they invade your food items, they can survive without food, feed on small pieces of crumbs you cannot see, and eat non-food items. Cutting off their food supply is not an extermination method, though it is useful for ensuring your food remains healthy.
- Roaches Are More Than Gross
Most people dislike cockroach invasions because roaches are somewhat gross. But there are actually risks associated with cockroaches. Their skin, hair, and saliva can cause allergens that also may irritate those with asthma. They commonly are covered in bacteria, increasing the risk of developing an unwanted illness. Removing roaches is important for maintaining your health and wellness.
- Cockroaches Love Corners
It may seem like roaches are always traveling on the corners of walls. It's because they are. Roaches are what's known as thigmotropic, which means that they experience less distress when they sense they are touching something else. It's why the best way to guarantee cockroach removal is to treat interior corners.
- Probably Best Not to Flush Roaches
Lots of people flush unwanted pests in the toilet so as not to require squashing them and cleanup. But it is probably not the best idea, since roaches can hold their breath for more than 30 minutes. You probably don't want anyone to find a surprise the next time they try to use the bathroom.
