Cockroaches
Cockroaches are one of the worlds most commonly noted
household pest insects. They feed on human food and pet
food. They also leave behind a really offensive odour, and
spread some diseases. There are 4500 types of cockroach, but
only 30 species are associated with humans world wide.
Cockroaches passively transport microbes on their body
surfaces including those that are potentially dangerous to
humans, particularly in environments such as hospitals.
Cockroaches can cause allergic reactions in humans. One of
the proteins that triggers allergic reactions is
tropomyosin. These allergens are also linked with asthma.
In the food industry such as restaurants, they can transmit
other microbes that can transfer to human food, causing
severe stomach upsets, which in some case can be fatal.
This then becomes a real health and safety threat which must
be dealt with quickly.
The cockroach is one of the most hardy of insects, some
species can remain active without food for over a month, and
are also able to live on the most meagre food supply such as
glue from postage stamps. They can also go without air for
over half an hour.
