Cockroaches are one of those pests that no one likes to encounter. The cockroach is widely considered a dirty insect responsible for spreading bacteria and infectious diseases. Therefore, it does not seem likely that there would be a cleaning routine for cockroaches. Cockroaches run their antennae and legs through their mouths to comb them to groom themselves. There are 4,600 different species of cockroaches, 30 of which are found in human habitats.
Among all the different species among those 30, only four are considered pests. These insects are considered a pest and are hardy, and they can live in a wide range of environments, including freezing temperatures and tropical heat. Even in extreme temperature conditions, cockroaches can survive. A few species can withstand temperatures of up to -122 °C by producing glycerol antifreeze.
Diet
All organic food sources are consumed by cockroaches, which are omnivorous scavengers. However, they have also been observed to consume things like books, hair, and decayed matter in addition to sweets, meats, and starches. In infestations of cockroaches, you’ll find cockroaches in the kitchen, food storage area, and prep area. Cockroaches eat whatever they find. A cockroach in a sewer eats sewage, while a cockroach on dead trees consumes decaying wood.
Impact on Human health
Cockroaches can passively transfer pathogenic microbes on their body surfaces, especially in hospital settings. In addition, humans are sensitive to cockroach allergens. In particular, asthmatic patients are sensitive to cockroaches. Salmonella, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, leprosy, and cholera have also been carried by cockroaches. In addition, cockroaches can transmit pathogens through their droppings because of their unsanitary eating habits. Cockroaches that eat contaminated food, such as raw chicken or animal faeces, may bring the organism into their digestive system, where it may lay dormant. As a result, cockroach droppings will contain the pathogen and contaminate food and surfaces. Despite the small number of cockroaches visible in the home, cockroaches can live for a few days to a month without food.
