Hello everyone ,hope we all had a splendid day in our various angles .
Today I will like to talk on cockroaches.
Cockroaches can survive a week without its head,can survive two weeks without water, can survive one month without food and can live in your house for three and a half years without it being detected.
Defecates on human food.
Can triggar severe asthma attack.
Spread bacteria that can cause food poisoning and typhoid.A cockroach can kill you if you don't kill it first these things are capable of the worst things you can imagine, they eat almost everything even fellow insects like hair , book ,meat anything they will eat.they are also attracted to human food,they vomit on it,they defecate on the food absolutely very disgusting animals.

Some young cockroaches have been documented to crawl over sleeping human beings to crawl inside the ears,nose and even on mouth so if you have cockroaches in your house and you sleep sometimes with your mouth open and drooling a cockroach can scrol inside for a kiss😂. cockroaches have been known for spraying at least 33kinds of bacteria including E-coli and Salmonella ,six parasitic worms and more than seven human pathogens.
Ecoli and Salmonella are classic causes of food poisoning, typhoid and diarrhea.

So what to do.
Prevent the environment that help them thrive that's the main answer.
Keep your cupboards,sinks,tables clean and free dirty of dirty plates ,unused utensils and old newspaper.
Clean your dishes,old scrubs and oil spills ones you cook
Always store your food in airtight containers and never leave your food out.
Storing up food in nylon bags like rice and garri isn't that adviceable because these idiots will end up eating through the nylon bags

Seal cracks and gaps in walls, floors and opening around or even cabinets
Also make sure you seal gaps around pipes, plumbing, wall outlets and spaces under the door to your kitchen.
From time to time run hot water in spare bathrooms and little used sinks.

Always check your bags and your children bags when they return from school as well as your shopping items.
If despite all these you still have a cockroach problem at home contact a pest professional for assistance elimination and prevention.
