Cockroaches are essentially omnivorous creatures. They are able to eat and digest foods of living or vegetable origin.
Another distinguishing feature of insects is that they are able to starve for a long time. The ability to eat everything that is badly hidden and costs up to 30-40 days without food makes cockroaches very tenacious neighbors.
In order to quickly get rid of them you need to limit them in access to food and water.
For 1 day a female cockroach can eat from 30 to 50 mg. Food. Male – 2 times less. Despite the fact that these insects can eat almost everything they find – they rather spoil (try) the food, but do not eat them.
If the size of the colony is small, then they are nominated for food only at night or early in the morning (when the owners of the apartment still sleep). During the day they usually hide in secluded cracks and places where they will be difficult to detect. If you see cockroaches in the kitchen during the day and often, it means that their number is much larger than the number of places for shelter and you need to take appropriate measures.
The greatest harm from red cockroaches comes from the fact that they only spoil the food and spread the infection. The well-known fact that these pests are carriers of eggs of worms and various diseases.
If you do not take any measures to remove them, you can catch typhoid fever, diphtheria, or get an allergic reaction.
