It is important to keep any cockroach infestation under control because you cannot usually see, smell, or taste the presence of cockroaches, yet you can become seriously ill when they are living among you. Some people are under the misconception that the presence of a few cockroaches is no reason for concern. Like other types of household pests, cockroaches are masters at hiding in any location of your home. Adult cockroaches are able to squeeze their bodies into an area that is the height of a quarter. Because of their instinct to live under shelter, most people believe that cockroaches would be the insect that would be able to survive a nuclear disaster.
Absent of an easy food source, these annoying creatures have been known to feed on leather, wallpaper, toothpaste, cardboard, and even bars of soap when necessary. Cockroaches are able to abstain from food for a month, and can go without water for a week. Additionally, cockroaches can hold their breath for forty-five minutes which is why store-bought foggers are often ineffective in treating a cockroach infestation. It is estimated that a home or business that is infested with cockroaches may contain anywhere from 900 to 330,000 cockroaches at any given time.
