Cockroaches everywhere.Who are they?
Went back to my origin country, and first thing i seen when entered my apartment i own back in my country, was cockroach.
Back in England you will never find one and i mean never. I lived there for 7 years now and never seen one or heard of anyone complaining about them.
I thought how to get rid of them in my flat, but before doing so i made a little research what exactly are they and what are they capable of.

I really want to have a ccockroarch farm and feed them to chickens and fish! You can make simple traps using any citrus but especially orange juice to lure them into a cup or some contraption that they can't escape from. Cockroaches are big business in China and the way money is being thrown around funding ag prodjects I think you'll see more insect protein feeding birds, fish and pigs very soon. They're a great way to get rid of food waste!
