Some Facts about Cockroaches

Cockroaches are among the most significant residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial pests in the world today.

Cockroaches adversely affect human health in several ways:

• they sometimes bite feebly, especially gnawing the fingernails of sleeping children;
• they contaminate food, imparting an unpleasant odor and taste;
• and they may transmit disease organisms mechanically on their body parts.

Additionally, exposure to cockroach allergen early in life may actually contribute to the development of asthma in susceptible children.
