Cockroaches live in groups, which makes home and office infestations difficult to eliminate. While you may have heard some interesting things about cockroaches (like they can survive a nuclear explosion), we are pretty sure you don’t know them like we do. Here are some surprising facts about these pests:

• Cockroaches spend 75% of their time resting.
• A cockroach can live for a week without its head. It doesn’t need it to breathe because it can breathe through little holes in each of its body segments. The only reason it will die is because without a mouth, it can’t eat or drink.
• At just one day old, a baby cockroach is about the size of a speck of dust.
• Cockroaches can travel up to 4.8km in an hour.
• Cockroaches will eat just about anything, from dead insects to soap to cloth to glue and more. They can also survive several weeks without food, but will die in a week without water.

Rest assured that we handle all types of cockroaches and will have your premises free of these disease carrying pests in no time. So if you have an infestation, don’t wait till it’s too late. Give us a call right away.
