The Connection: Cockroaches and Food-Borne Illnesses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The sight of cockroaches<\/a> in your home is disturbing enough, but there\u2019s another reason to dread having these pests around. Cockroaches carry food-borne illnesses that can end up being potentially life-threatening.<\/p>\n

Dangerous Germs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cockroaches<\/a> pick up bacteria and other germs that can lead to serious food-borne infections in humans. As these pests move around your home, they leave their feces behind. In some cases, their feces contain Salmonella, which can cause potentially deadly food poisoning. These germs can stay in cockroach feces for many years.<\/p>\n

Cockroaches also spread other dangerous germs, including Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. When these pests crawl through your home, they’re spreading these germs, putting you and your family at risk.<\/p>\n

This includes closing up possible entry points, such as cracks and gaps near doors and windows. You should also clean up crumbs, put leftover food in airtight containers and keep clutter to a minimum.<\/p>\n
