Cockroaches have been around for 320 million years, making them one of the oldest insects on the planet. They’ve adapted and survived through countless changes, making them extremely resilient insects.
Often sneaking into our premises through cracks, drains, and vents, these robust creatures can survive in the most extreme conditions, making them one of the toughest pests to eradicate.
Cockroaches are opportunistic feeders with an omnivorous diet, meaning they are not selective and will consume virtually anything available to them — this includes waste, faecal matter, and even fellow cockroaches!
This behaviour of cannibalism is believed to be a self-regulating mechanism to control their population size, especially during times of food scarcity and overpopulation. When pushed to extremes, they resort to consuming each other to sustain themselves.
To thrive, these insects seek out hidden retreats situated close to sources of food and water — usually concealed in the obscure corners, crevices, and alcoves of a structure. While they have impressive endurance to withstand prolonged periods without food, surviving for several months, they cannot go for more than a few days without water.
