Cockroaches, More Harmful Than You Can Think.

Cockroaches as we all know are insects. Very
small insects that are also very good at
surviving. They are nocturnal creatures, that
means they are very active at night or in the
dark. They have been well observed to thrive
in warm environment. They even run away
when suddenly exposed to light. Cockroaches
can survive days without water, several days
without food and even hours without its head.
Cockroaches allergies exist. They came about
when cockroaches climb the skin of people.
Some begin to develop this allergies, mostly in
the form of rashes.
These allergies sometimes trigger asthma.
They transport different types of pathogens.
They can spread certain types of bacteria that
causes food poisoning and hence, typhoid.
The bacteria will spread to the blood stream
and hence can cause different types of life
threatening infections. They crawl anywhere,
eat anything, be it clothes, paper, food, tissue,
books, smaller insects etc. they eat basically
anything. They have been known to spread up
to more than 20 kinds of bacteria and other
types of pathogens that are harmful to man.
However it is very necessary to take
preventive steps because these cockroaches as
small as they are, are very capable of taking
away the life of a loved one.
Clean your cupboards so as to prevent and
reduce their hiding places. Always ensure the
dirty plates are washed, sinks are cleaned,
and the floor and cupboards are cleaned, so
as to avoid their survival. Ensure you avoid
leaving food uncovered so as to prevent not
just cockroaches but rats and houseflies also
from dropping pathogens and bacteria on the
food. They are actually very harmful and
deserved to be killed. You can pour hot water
in the sinks that haven't been used for a
while, because they tend to relax there most
times. I even wish they can go extinct
because they add nothing positive to the
environment, Of course except manure.
What do you have to say about your
experience with cockroaches.
