About Cockroaches

Cockroaches are one of the most resilient creatures on the planet. They have been around since the time of the dinosaurs and are known for their incredible survival abilities. They can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes, a trait believed to help conserve water. Cockroaches are also amphibious, often running into water when threatened, and they can survive underwater for several hours.

There are approximately 4,300 species of cockroaches worldwide, yet fewer than 30 are considered pests. The smallest cockroach measures around 3mm, while the heaviest, the Australian Rhinoceros Cockroach, reaches 80mm in length. The Megaloblatta Blaberoides holds the record for the largest wingspan among cockroaches.

In the UK, we are relatively fortunate when it comes to cockroach infestations. Only three species—the Tawny Cockroach, Lesser Cockroach, and Dusky Cockroach—are commonly found here, most of which have been introduced from abroad.

If you’re facing a cockroach infestation, Pest Control Hertfordshire 24 is here to help. Our team of expert technicians provides fast and effective pest control services for both commercial and domestic properties.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Cockroaches

1. What attracts cockroaches to my home or business?

Cockroaches are drawn to food, moisture, and warmth. They often enter properties in search of shelter and easy access to food sources.

2. Are cockroaches dangerous?

Yes, cockroaches can carry and spread bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli, leading to food contamination and potential health risks, especially for those with allergies or asthma.

3. How do cockroaches enter buildings?

Cockroaches can squeeze through tiny cracks and gaps in doors, windows, pipes, and vents. They are often brought into buildings through infested food packaging or second-hand appliances.

4. How do I know if I have a cockroach infestation?

Signs of an infestation include droppings, shed skins, an unusual musty odor, smear marks, and spotting cockroaches in the kitchen, bathroom, or storage areas at night.

5. How can I prevent cockroaches from infesting my property?

• Keep food stored in sealed containers.
• Regularly clean up spills and crumbs.
• Fix leaking pipes and eliminate standing water.
• Seal cracks and entry points around doors and windows.

No, cockroaches can infest even the cleanest homes and businesses. While poor hygiene can attract them, they primarily seek food, moisture, and warmth.
