Cockroaches are some of the oldest and most common pests in the world. These are hardy insects that can go for months without food, and they multiply at an alarmingly fast rate. The most common species in Ontario is the German cockroach. This cockroach is glossy brown with two black stripes on its back. It measures up to 16mm in length and sports a pair of wings, but it cannot fly. Cockroaches typically infest kitchens and bathrooms where there is food and moisture. They hide in dark crevices and feed on whatever they find.
Cockroaches carry a variety of bacteria and parasites. Everywhere they go, they spread illnesses like Salmonella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Salmonella is often associated with food poisoning and typhoid fever, with symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause a variety of problems from earaches to rashes to fever and chills. Parasites include roundworms, tapeworms, and more – all of which are extremely dangerous to humans and pets. Some people are allergic to cockroaches and suffer from asthma attacks, nasal congestion, and rashes on the skin. Cockroaches are filthy pests that should be eliminated as soon as possible.
