Cockroaches are a common insect that belongs to the order Blattaria. They usually live inside buildings in cities and villages as well as in their surroundings, including kitchens, toilets, pantry, basements, etc. Cockroaches have a flat body, a small head, a well-developed thorax, 4 pairs of footsteps and 1 pair of tentacles. Cockroaches are omnivorous insects and love to eat many different kinds of food, including food and sundries. Cockroaches are very reproductive, and a mature female cockroach can produce hundreds of offspring in a year. Cockroaches are also very vigorous and can survive for a while even without food and water. Since cockroaches are capable of carrying and transmitting pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, they are somewhat harmful to human health.
Cockroaches, their origin can be traced back to the Jurassic period. The ancestors of cockroaches originated in the European region during the Jurassic period, and over time they gradually spread around the world. Cockroaches are highly adaptable and can survive and thrive in different environments. Before the advent of humans, cockroaches had been living on Earth for millions of years. Although cockroaches are not ancient creatures, they have a very long history of survival on Earth.
Cockroaches are known as "cockroach grass" or "cockroach flowers" in traditional Chinese medicine and are a commonly used Chinese medicinal material. Cockroach grass has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and can be used for cold, cough, laryngitis, dysentery and other symptoms. In addition, cockroach grass can also be used for symptoms such as snake bites and carbuncles. It should be noted that although cockroach grass is a Chinese medicinal material, it has a certain toxicity and cannot be used at will.
Cockroaches like to eat a lot of food, almost all organic matter, especially fragrant, sweet, oily flour food, everything that can be eaten will be eaten. Cockroaches love to eat all kinds of food, including bread, rice, pastries, cooked meat, vegetables, fruits, and beverages. In addition, cockroaches often bite other items such as cotton, wool products, leather products, paper, books, soap, etc.
It is worth noting that cockroaches do not have strict requirements for food, and as long as they can be eaten, they will not give up. However, cockroaches have a very high survival rate, living for three months without food, but only one month without water. Therefore, cockroaches need to constantly search for food in order to survive for a longer period of time.
I have also struggled with cockroaches for a while, and indeed when you find a cockroach, there is no difference between finding a hundred of them, generally the house is damp, and the ground is not cleaned in time, which is generally easy to provoke this thing, and then it is annihilated by drugs.
