Cockroaches: a common nuisance
The terms “cockroach” and “cockroach” refer to the same insect, belonging to the order Dictyoptera. There are over 3,500 species of cockroaches, with variations in size, shape and behavior. These insects have an incomplete metamorphosis cycle and reproduce by laying eggs in sacs called oothecae, generally containing from 10 to 40 eggs, depending on the species. Larvae undergo several moults before reaching adulthood.
Cockroaches are pests that can cause many problems in your environment. They are often associated with dirt, food contamination and health hazards. They can also cause property damage by gnawing away at building materials and leaving behind excrement and odorous secretions.
