Cockroaches are from an evolutionary point very success, up there with the most successful. They are one of the oldest surviving insect on the plant. So it is no wonder people all over the world struggle with roach control. They are built for survival, they say wherever humans can survive so can the cockroach, but I am not so sure about that they may be able to survive without humans. Has anyone seen the movie Wall-E? Cockroaches are omnivores and born scavengers, they will eat almost anything including their own dead. This works out well when using a roach bait to control your roach population, meaning it will continue to kill roaches even if the roaches only ingest their family. Not only do cockroaches cause the skin to crawl on most people, but they are also vectors of pathogens to humans and a source of allergens. Let us look at the roaches' ability to reproduce and how quickly they are able to over populate an error, the numbers will be shocking. There is an estimated 3,500 species of cockroaches. All cockroaches undergo a gradual metamorphosis that is characterized by three distinct stages, egg, nymph, and adult. Average life span is about 100 days and it takes 3 to 4 months on average for the American roach to go a complete life cycle from egg to adult. She may produce up to 400 offspring in her lifetime. If you have one female roach and she lays 400 eggs in a year and those 400 lay 400 that is 160,000 cockroaches from one female roach and how many homes and restaurants have only just one! Bait aversion is like any other form of resistance, when a product is used over and over again in the same place for the same problem pest, it will eventually become immune to that particular product. The definition of bait aversion is where a target animal learns to avoid a poison bait usually after having ingested a sub-lethal dose and becoming sick. This happens because evolution occurs more rapidly in insects than humans, because of their ability to rapidly reproduce. If you only address the roach population, excessive use of the same or even similar formulation of baits has caused roaches that do not like to eat certain roach bait ingredients and this number is on the increase. To help eliminate this problem it is recommended that multiple products be used when trying to achieve roach control. Five key factors in the integrated pest management approach to controlling cockroaches is proper identification, inspection of the property, prediction of the population, evaluation, and a decision on the best treatments available for your situation. The very nature of the cockroach is by any standard a successful one made for survival. Using the right products in the correct location will help you be able to achieve cockroach control and eliminate your roach control problems.

People still watch the video I made over a year ago showing our pet cockroach Crawly. And people often ask if I still have her and how she is. Well, here is the long overdue return of Crawly, and she's brought along her offspring.

It was a pretty big surprise when the baby cockroaches appeared. We had already had Crawly for over six months so either they gestate eggs for a long time or they are the sort of animal that can suspend the development of their young until the time is right.

Or it was a virgin birth. OMG I have the cockroach messiah in my house. I shouldn't have sprayed those bugs at the door, they were clearly the three wise cockroaches bringing gifts.

And for those who always insist on saying this isn't the biggest breed of cockroach (they always go on with some about the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach)

By Garnet Hertz (2005) "Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot" is an experimental mechanism that uses a living Madagascan hissing cockroach atop a modified trackball to control a three-wheeled robot. If the cockroach moves left, the robot moves left. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU.

Cockroaches is a post from: Get Rid of Vermin

What's older than your grandfather and most likely to be here long after you've gone? The answer: the lowly cockroach

Believe it or not, cockroaches have been around for 400 million years and they're a lot more productive than humans. There are 57 known species in the United States alone.

But you don't have to go there to meet one. The most common type Blatella germanica can be found in almost any kitchen or bathroom.

You'll seldom find roaches in the day; most species are nocturnal. However, you can be sure your home is infested if you find what looks like little grains of pepper or oval, brown egg cases.

The former are the roach's feces while the egg cases are carried by the female under her body until the eggs are ready to hatch. Although the female cockroach lays only one or two eggs in its entire lifetime, each egg contains about 40 eggs.

The nymph or young roach becomes an adult in two or three months. Roaches normally live for nine to 10 months but some species can survive up to three years depending on the environment and food supply.

"Cockroaches thrive on warmth and dampness and show a distinct dislike for lighted rooms. These insects can feed on anything, including paper, leather fabrics, and foodstuff. They cannot withstand long periods of starvation and usually die within two to four weeks under such circumstances," according to the editors of 'Health Alert', a publication of the Health Action Information Network (HAIN).

Like flies, roaches can transmit serious diseases like typhoid fever and cholera. The germs responsible for these diseases are picked up by roaches from filth and carried to the food you eat.

Roaches also transmit dysentery, the inflammation of the mucous membrane of the large intestine caused by bacterial or viral infection. This disease is characterized by abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, and bloody stool, mucus or pus in the stools. If the patient doesn't get help immediately, he or she may die from dehydration or other complications.

"The cockroach is a very significant threat to public health as it is a mechanical carrier of germs and diseases. It may also pass on parasitic worms, the viruses of poliomyelitis, and other microorganisms such as those carrying hepatitis A and leprosy," warned the editors of 'Health Alert.' (Next: Get rid of roaches.)
