Cockroaches can live for up to 30 days without food and 10 days without water.

They can also live for up to 10 days without their heads. There are about 4,500 species of cockroaches globally, but only about 30 of them are considered pests. The largest species in the world is the Australian rhinoceros cockroach (Macropanesthia rhinoceros), which weighs about 33 grams.

What causes cockroaches in the house?

Roaches are looking for food, water and shelter when they enter your home. Therefore, eliminating as many sources of these items as possible will encourage them to move on. Keep your home spotless, especially in areas where you cook and dine.

Ensure you do not allow water to stand around your home and do not leave drinks sitting out. Cockroaches use paper and cardboard as shelter, so keep these items put up.

Throw away the trash daily.
