Cockroach Behavior
Cockroaches are resilient pests that can thrive in a variety of environments. Many people believe cockroaches only infest dirty places, but they can survive in clean homes as long as they have access to food, water, and shelter. While cockroaches primarily feed on organic matter such as decaying food and garbage, they are scavengers and can consume almost anything, including paper and glue.
Cockroaches are known to spread bacteria and allergens, making them a health hazard in homes and businesses. However, they also play a role in the ecosystem by breaking down organic material, helping with decomposition.

Why Cockroach Allergies Are a Serious Indoor Health Risk
Cockroach allergies are a lesser-known but dangerous indoor allergen, often overlooked in favor of more common triggers like dust mites or pollen. Yet roach allergens—found in their saliva, droppings, and shed skins—can trigger asthma attacks and worsen respiratory issues, especially in children, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems.
Roaches aren’t just a problem at home—they can also infest schools, offices, and restaurants, spreading allergens long after they’re gone. Dead roaches and leftover debris can linger in air ducts, carpets, and dust, making it essential to treat both the infestation and the allergens they leave behind.
If left untreated, a roach infestation can lead to chronic allergy symptoms and serious health risks. Professional pest control and thorough cleaning are key to protecting your indoor air quality.
Roaches Won’t Die — Here’s Why That’s a Problem
Cockroaches are survivors. They can live for weeks without food, days without a head, and even resist many common pesticides. But their toughness isn’t just frustrating — it’s a real health hazard.
Roaches spread allergens through their saliva, droppings, and shed skins. These particles get into the air and settle in dust, carpets, and vents — triggering asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and chronic respiratory issues, especially in children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems.
Even worse, dead roaches still release allergens as they break down, making proper cleanup just as important as extermination. And infestations aren’t limited to dirty homes — roaches can show up in even the cleanest houses, offices, restaurants, and schools.
The bottom line? Roaches are more than just gross. They’re dangerous, persistent, and hard to eliminate without professional help.
