Why are cockroaches a pest?


There are many reasons why cockroaches are a pest and why you would need cockroach control in your home or office environment. Let’s take a look at three of the most common reasons.

 

  1. They are a health hazard

    Cockroaches are regarded as dangerous. They cause allergies, trigger asthma, and cause reactions to sensitive people. They carry bacteria, which contaminates food causing serious illnesses.

  2. They are disgusting

    Seeing a cockroach in your kitchen is one thing, but stepping on it and hearing that crunch is another. Not only is the sound ghastly, but it comes with an awful stench from the uric acid stored in their bodies.

  3. They produce bad babies

    Females can produce up to 50 little roaches which develop in a single egg. When the egg hatches it produces a whole new batch of cockroaches, which in turn can produce another 50 new babies each. Cockroaches multiply quickly and can soon become a huge pest issue.
