How do red cockroaches reproduce in an apartment, how to get rid of them at home?

In this article we will talk about where these insects most often live, how red cockroaches reproduce in an apartment, what they eat, and what methods exist to combat them.

Cockroaches are unpleasant, annoying and extremely tenacious insects that most often coexist with people in their living space. You can often find cockroaches in catering establishments, shops, and various warehouses. In general, wherever they have something to eat and where to hide from the watchful eye of a person who is definitely not at all happy about such a neighborhood.

Why are these insects so unpleasant to humans, since cockroaches don’t even bite, like bedbugs or fleas, for example? They spoil renovations with their waste products, spoil cereals and other food supplies by eating and living in them, multiply quickly and literally fill the apartment. In addition, do not forget that on their six legs, cockroaches are capable of carrying various viruses, microbes and diseases, for example: salmonellosis, diphtheria, leprosy, tuberculosis, tetanus, trachoma, meningitis. Do not forget that the presence of cockroaches in your home or work place is a real hell for allergy sufferers, because the chitinous coverings of the insect can cause allergy attacks.

Science knows more than 4,000 species of cockroaches, but in everyday life humanity most often encounters the Prussian cockroach or, in other words, the red cockroach.

What does a red cockroach look like? Detailed description.

Red cockroaches are the most common.
If you have ever encountered these insects, then most likely it was with this species. The color of the red cockroach has a brownish-yellowish tint, with two parallel stripes on the back. By these stripes you can determine that this is exactly the type of cockroach in front of you.

Red cockroaches living in an apartment can reach up to one and a half centimeters in length, have 6 legs and quite long (relative to the body) mustaches. The red cockroach also has wings, but rarely uses them. You've probably never seen a cockroach flying around your house. The wings are translucent, located under thick wing covers and are not always visible to the naked eye.

On each of the six paws of the Prussian there are special suction cups, inherited by the insect from nature (in other words, special chitinous spines). With their help, a cockroach can move on surfaces made of various materials and in different planes (horizontal and vertical). This insect can even crawl on the ceiling! Also, the legs of the red cockroach are ideal for quickly moving through space by running.

An insect is running around the apartment - a cockroach or a Prussian: who can tell the difference?

You are wondering how cockroaches and Prussians differ, then let’s review the main differences:

color is the main argument, because ordinary “stasiks” are mostly black, but a red, brown tint indicates the appearance of this subspecies;
size is an equally important detail; if you notice a huge cockroach on the wall, then this is a cockroach, since Prussians are a small species of insects;
the inability to bite, because the pest’s jaws are underdeveloped, but there are cases of reports of bites of simple cockroaches;
the presence of two dark stripes on the front of the chest also distinguishes the red pest from the usual one.

In all other respects, the parasites are similar in behavior and living conditions.

Lifestyle of a red cockroach. What does he eat?

The red cockroach is characterized by a predominantly nocturnal lifestyle, since it does not like daylight and the danger posed by humans. At the beginning of the article, we indicated that a dark corner for life, hidden from human eyes and daylight or artificial light, is important for cockroaches. Therefore, if you suspect that there are cockroaches in the apartment, first of all check the cabinets in the kitchen, the place under the bathroom and next to the sinks (the presence of water in the habitat is also important for cockroaches) and the furniture inside. If you notice at least one cockroach, we recommend that you immediately start fighting the insect, because it is unlikely that there is really only one (the rest may be at an early stage of development and hide well).

What does a Prussian eat?

We can say that the red cockroach eats absolutely everything! Of course, if there is an abundance, he will choose something sweet, starchy and carbohydrate, i.e. will begin to eat the remains of human food and supplies. But in times of hunger, cockroaches can eat glue, hair, rotting wood, soap, paper, and leather goods found in the apartment.

Habitats

To feel safe, Prussians need warmth, darkness, and access to water and food. Based on these needs, they choose their places to live. In an apartment, red cockroaches most often settle in the kitchen and bathroom, giving preference to the following places:

under the sink;
under and behind the refrigerator (sometimes insects can be found in the rubber seal in the refrigerator door);
inside a microwave or oven;
the space between the wall and shelves, cabinets;
behind skirting boards and ceiling moldings;
behind peeling wallpaper and peeling wall panels;
under the bath;
in ventilation openings;
inside built-in kitchen furniture;
in cracks in the floor or walls;
in boxes for wires and pipes.

In a private home, Prussians often choose a storage room or a warm basement as their main place of residence.

Ideal conditions for the life of a cockroach.

So, in what conditions does the red cockroach live most comfortably?

If you rarely empty your trash can and it doesn't have a sealed lid, you're giving cockroaches unlimited access to food. We advise you to either take out the trash as often as possible, or buy a sealed bucket that makes it difficult for insects to get to the waste.
Wash dishes and wipe up crumbs from the table immediately after eating. This way you can also reduce the amount of food available to the cockroach.
Clean with a vacuum cleaner as often as possible. This way you can remove all possible sources of food from the floor.
If you have a pet and its food dishes are always full, then this may also attract the Prussian.
Cockroaches need water. The source of water may be, for example, from leaking pipes. If you cannot cope with cockroaches at home for a long time, then you should pay attention to this aspect.

In general, the ideal conditions for a red cockroach to live in an apartment are quite simple: the presence of secluded corners where offspring can be raised without fear, access to food and water, and a minimum amount of light.

Cockroaches are very tenacious and quickly adapt to almost any conditions, and can also develop immunity to the means that people use to poison insects. All these factors together can delay pest control for many months.

Prusak, let us remind you, is incredibly common. Why? Because, among other things, it also reproduces extremely quickly. Further in this article we will talk about how long the redhead lives and how this insect reproduces.

Harm to humans

With a large and long-term accumulation of insects, they spoil things, the appearance of finishing materials and household items is lost. Cockroaches can damage radio equipment by short-circuiting it.

Climbing on sleeping people, cockroaches gnaw off the edges of the lips and other delicate areas of the skin, which can become infected and not heal for a long time. Sometimes they get into the ears and cannot get out.

The chitinous shell of the Prussian is capable of holding a great variety of microbes, since it is abundantly supplied with hairs, hooks and processes. Moving through trash cans, animal corpses, their feces, beds and feeding areas, the cockroach picks up pathogenic microorganisms and helminth eggs and brings them to the human table.

How long does a red cockroach live and how does it reproduce?

We all know the Prussian, and even if we haven’t seen it in person, we definitely saw the red cockroach in the photo.

But do most people know how long this harmful insect lives and how it reproduces?

On average, the life cycle of a red cockroach is from 9 to 17 months; most often, the cause of death of a cockroach is their deliberate extermination by people or insufficient nutrition. An adult cockroach can live without food for up to three weeks, and without water for about a week and a half. If, after this period, food has not been found, the individual dies. It is noteworthy that the larvae (also called nymphs) of cockroaches can live without water and food somewhat longer than an adult Prussian.

Now let's talk about how red cockroaches reproduce.

A special oval-flat egg in which the larvae develop is called an ooteca in cockroaches. From one such ootheca can produce from 20 to 60 larvae, many of which will later turn into adult cockroaches that are capable of giving birth to new individuals. During her short life, under good external conditions, an adult female cockroach lays from 3 to 6 oothecae. Cockroaches really multiply at an incredible rate!

The ootheca is carried by the female cockroach and is located in the back of her body. At some point, the female “sheds” the ootheca (the female carries the ootheca on herself for about 40 days). Within a couple of days, larvae hatch from it, similar in appearance to adult Prussians reduced in size several times. The female leaves the ooteca in moist, warm, secluded places in the apartment to ensure safe maturation for future offspring. For some time after leaving the ootheca, the larvae of cockroaches remain in the place where the ootheca was, as if getting accustomed to the world. By the way, at first they feed on the ootheca, or rather on what is left of it.

The development of a red cockroach from an egg that the female carries on her body to an adult takes about 130 days.

Next, let's talk about where cockroaches can come into your apartment.

Types of cockroaches that indicate the territorial origin of insects

If some individuals are popularly called stasiks, then representatives of many species have less disparaging names. They are often classified according to territorial division.

Cockroach on a cutting board

American cockroach

Insects first appeared in Africa. Since the commodity-market relations of the mainland countries began to develop, longhorned beetles have spread throughout the world.

The carapace is more elongated and narrow. Insects of this species also have longer limbs. They are also distinguished by their ability to fly.

American cockroaches skillfully use their natural abilities.

Madagascar cockroach

These individuals are represented by a small number of species - about 20. Initially, they lived only on the island. Madagascar. But later they began to be grown by people in apartments and houses. The body length of individuals reaches 60 mm.

These insects do not look like simple stasis cockroaches. Habitats in their homeland are rotten trees and leaves. Insects feed on plant debris and spoiled fruits.

Gromphadorhina portentosa – Madagascar hissing cockroach

Turkmen cockroach

Known by different names, for example Shelfordella tartara. Body length is up to 3 cm. Such individuals are somewhat larger than Prussians, which people call stasiks. The outer integument is also red. The homeland of pests is Asia, which gave rise to the official name of insects. Males and females differ in color: the former have a lighter carapace, while the females have a darker carapace, with a pattern of dots that is faintly visible.

Laplandian

Most insects prefer warm climates. Only rare individuals are able to constantly exist in harsh conditions. This includes Lapland. It can be found in Europe; low temperatures do not frighten such a pest too much. External characteristics: gray-brown color (small dots on the back). The body length is small - 10 mm.

Australian giant cockroach or rhinoceros

In terms of body size, the pests are not inferior to those from Madagascar, they are even larger. The length of the pests is up to 8 cm. The top of the body of the insects is covered with a hard round-shaped shell. It is segmented. The color is dark brown, insects cannot fly. Cockroaches of this species have an interesting feature - they dig tunnels, which is facilitated by powerful paws, as well as a durable shell. The insects have not spread too much because they do not reproduce often. In 1 year, up to 40 nymphs appear, and sometimes less.

Insects have another name - rhinoceros. The pests began to be called that because of their resemblance to a heavy animal. Cockroaches have large limbs - more powerful than those of Prussians or representatives of other species. There is also a wide carapace, it is rigid, which allows it to withstand significant loads. Insects dig tunnels, and therefore they need reliable protection. These cockroaches make their homes underground. They are comfortable here: it is cool, the environment is always humid.

The Australian rhinoceros cockroach reaches a weight of 35 g

How can cockroaches get into your apartment?

Cockroaches migrate from place to place in different ways, below is a list of the most common ways a cockroach can get into your home:

Along with a suitcase or bag from a trip. Cockroaches are often permanent residents of hotels and residential buildings for tourists, so there is always a risk of bringing the Prussians with you along with good memories of your vacation. We recommend that you carefully check your luggage after travel and wash items from it at high temperatures.
If there are already cockroaches in your house, then rest assured: very soon they will crawl to you. It's just a matter of time. Cockroaches crawl through vents, down drains, through cracks in walls, and through garbage disposals. If cockroaches live with your neighbors, you should talk to them and agree to fight pests together, otherwise red cockroaches will simply migrate from apartment to apartment, but will not completely disappear from the lives of the residents of the house. As we have already said, cockroaches are scary not only for their unpleasant appearance and destruction of food supplies, but also for the diseases they spread.
Cockroaches can be found in a variety of stores: from grocery stores to furniture and clothing stores. It is possible that cockroaches may enter your apartment along with new items or food products.
If you buy any items secondhand, then there is also a high risk of buying this item with a “surprise” inside. We recommend treating purchased items for pests immediately after purchase.
From the guests. You could go on a visit and bring a cockroach on your clothes or in your bag. Children often bring insects with them from kindergartens and schools.

These are not all ways, but the most common. As we can see, it is very easy to get cockroaches; you don’t have to live in unsanitary conditions or forget to remove food from the table. This is why cockroaches are so common in completely different places. These insects quickly adapt to absolutely any living conditions, and the resistance of red cockroaches to poisons is legendary!

Old joke

People often make up ridiculous funny stories, which they then pass on to each other orally. This is how jokes are born. In one of the “bearded” jokes, the cockroach’s name is Stasik. In the story, an insect runs past a wolf suffering from a hangover. The wolf asked what the cockroach's name was. To which he replied that his name is Stasik. The wolf began to complain about his sore head and, out of emotion, crushed the barbel.

The meaning of the joke is not entirely clear, but the absurdity of the situation makes it funny. Among those people who have heard this humorous story, there are no problems with coming up with a name for the cockroaches that have settled in their apartment.

What is incomplete metamorphosis of an insect?

Metamorphosis or partial metamorphosis of an insect is a biological process and type of development of baby insects.

Red cockroaches are insects of incomplete metamorphosis. After the larva of this insect emerges from the ooteca, it looks like a smaller adult. In addition to its size, the larva differs from an adult cockroach in that it does not yet have wings. The larvae develop and grow, molt, and after a certain number of molts they begin to develop wings.

Such development, when an insect does not go through the various stages of development of the baby, is called incomplete metamorphosis of insects. From its very birth, an insect of incomplete transformation is mobile, active and leads a full life. This makes cockroach larvae less vulnerable and promotes their rapid reproduction.

Appearance Features

Common red cockroaches are similar in structure to other species of their large family. The body has a head, chest, and abdomen. The size of cockroaches is not impressive. An adult reaches only 1.5 cm. Males are even smaller. For comparison, their close relatives black cockroaches grow up to 5 cm. A cockroach weighs several grams.

Prussians

The structure of the red cockroach is somewhat different between males and females. The male has an elongated narrow belly, while the female has a more massive and wide belly. The ends of the last two segments are dark in color. Pregnant females also have a special ootheca where the eggs are located.

There are wings on the back, but red cockroaches rarely use them and cannot fly. They can glide from a height in case of danger or rise a short distance during the mating season. But the red cockroach runs extremely fast. Moves freely on a horizontal surface with its head down. All this thanks to the suction cups on the tips of the paws.

Interesting!
The mouthparts are gnawing with many hard chitinous processes. The domestic cockroach is capable of chewing any hard products - soap, leather bindings, wood, cardboard.

There are long mustaches on the head. They serve as a kind of antenna that allows insects to navigate in space, find food, communicate with relatives, and find a mate for fertilization. The sense of smell plays an important role in the life of red cockroaches. Having lost its antennae, the insect dies from helplessness.

How to effectively get rid of cockroaches in an apartment?

The question of how to get rid of cockroaches in an apartment is asked by many who have encountered the problem of this insect appearing in their living space.

In this article we will talk about various methods of dealing with red cockroaches. Let's start with preventive measures that can help prevent the appearance and spread of cockroaches.

Preventive measures to combat such unpleasant insects as cockroaches include the following measures:

The first step is to fix all leaks and problems with pipes and sinks. This will cut off the cockroaches’ access to water, which will make their life much more difficult.
Wipe down areas where moisture may accumulate at night. These places include sinks, bathroom floors, and the floor near doors (in winter).
Water indoor plants only in the morning or during the day so that the maximum moisture is absorbed before dark (after all, cockroaches are active at night and are afraid of daylight).
Carefully inspect all purchases and check suitcases after travel.
Do not leave food out in the open at night.

By observing these precautions, you can not only prevent the appearance of cockroaches in your apartment, but also prevent comfortable conditions for the existence and reproduction of adult individuals with wings that have already settled.

Mustached version

It can be explained why cockroaches are called stasikas: the nickname was attached to the insects in connection with the most important feature - the mustache.

There are two versions:

In pre-revolutionary times, the male name Stanislav was popular in noble families. The bearers of this name had a thick, lush mustache, which was carefully maintained. In addition, the people noted the craftiness and mobility of the Stanislavs, and since cockroaches run quickly, a line of correspondence was drawn between the nimble men and the insects.
The second version is as follows: previously it was believed that the Stanislavs had a thick mustache. And if they had a red color and a characteristic curl, such men looked like insects.

According to the above versions, the diminutive nickname “stasik” was chosen due to their nimbleness, long mustache and small size.

What other ways to get rid of cockroaches are there?

In this article we will look at many types of cockroach control:

Fighting cockroaches using folk remedies;
Fighting cockroaches using chemicals (on your own);
Fight against insects using ultrasonic repellers.
Destruction of cockroaches using SES.

Biological progress has allowed cockroaches to adapt to poisons and become resistant to many of them. This fact makes it much more difficult to get rid of the annoying insect.

In addition, cockroaches do not have many natural enemies (animals that eat them). So, cats and rats can feast on the Prussian, but without much enthusiasm. While for a spider they are very tasty prey.

So where to start?

We recommend starting preparatory operations for the fight against cockroaches in your home with a complete thorough spring cleaning. This way you will not only cut off an easy path for cockroaches to food sources, but you will also be able to determine the places where they are most concentrated.

Finding out exactly where insects live in the apartment is very useful: this way you will

know where to place cockroach traps or leave poison in the future.

I also recommend taking out the trash as often as possible and purchasing a trash can with a tight-fitting lid. This will greatly limit the insect's access to food and make the apartment less attractive to live in.

It is important to do wet cleaning as often as possible and, if possible, wash dishes immediately after eating.

Cockroaches often crawl out of neighboring apartments using ventilation. We recommend placing as fine a mesh as possible on the ventilation openings in order to limit the entry of insects into the apartment in this way as much as possible.

Reasons for appearance

Prussian cockroaches most often settle where the most comfortable conditions are created for them, namely:

there is water and food;
warm;
there are many secluded places where you can hide.

Thus, the main reason for the appearance of cockroaches is an unsanitary environment in the house. Garbage, leftover food and crumbs, leaking taps and pipes, peeling wallpaper, cracks in the floor or walls are factors that increase the likelihood of a cockroach infestation.

Another option is that Prussians can move into an apartment to escape danger, for example, if pest control was carried out somewhere nearby. They also gradually spread out in search of new housing if the population grows, when there is no longer enough food for everyone, and appear from a neighboring apartment, basement or entrance.

Folk remedies in the fight against cockroaches.

There are a lot of folk remedies against red cockroaches; in this article we will talk about the most popular and effective ones.

Homemade anti-cockroach remedies:

Boric acid bait: mix mashed potatoes, egg yolk and boric acid in a ratio of 1/1. Roll the resulting mixture into balls and place them in areas where cockroaches gather. Killing cockroaches using this method can take a long time, and the bait must be renewed periodically.
Mix water with 9% vinegar and wipe the mixture on surfaces where cockroaches might crawl. Vinegar repels insects.
You can also try repelling cockroaches using essential oils. Thus, cockroaches do not like the smells of citrus fruits, pine, spruce, and tea tree. This method can only repel insects, but does not destroy them.

Folk remedies most often only repel cockroaches, but do not physically destroy them (for example, essential oils and vinegar solution). Boric acid poison bait physically destroys cockroaches, but there is no guarantee that the majority of the individuals living in your apartment will taste this deadly treat. If at least a few cockroaches remain alive, then after a short period of time the cockroaches will multiply and again fill the apartment.

In our opinion, folk methods are excellent as auxiliary measures to eliminate Prussians, but they are weak as a main force. You can read more about folk remedies against cockroaches here.

Why are cockroaches called Prussians?

Prusak is
a very common name for the red cockroach in Russia; we often used it throughout the article and are sure that you have also heard it more than once. But why are they called that? Let's try to figure it out.

Red cockroaches are so common that you might think that they have always lived in Russia, but this is not so. And it is precisely in the fact that this insect has not always lived in our country that the meaning of the name “Prussian” lies. The Prusak appeared in Russia in the 18th century, after the wars with Frederick. It was believed that along with the victory, the soldiers also brought home “trophy gifts.” As we remember, cockroaches can be “brought” in folds of clothing, bags, and luggage.

It is unclear to what extent the appearance of cockroaches in Russia is really connected with that war, but the nickname “Prusak” has firmly stuck with them and is used to this day. Here's a little historical background.

As we said at the very beginning of the article, there is a wide variety of different types of cockroaches, but the red ones are most often found in human homes. In second place in terms of distribution are black cockroaches.

More information about the black cockroach can be found here.

origin of name

The homeland of the Prussians is the warm countries of Central Asia. There they live freely on the street and do not particularly need human housing. Cockroach in Latin Blatta means arthropod insect. There is no exact data on where the Russian name came from. Experts noticed a similarity with the Chuvash word tar-aqan, which means “running away.”

During the existence of cockroaches in our country, many nicknames were invented, not the most pleasant ones - Prusak, Felix, Stasik, Tanchik, Tram, Red, Barbel.

What is the relationship between black and red cockroaches?

Black and red cockroaches

- these are competitors who do not get along with each other. For some time (quite a short time) they can coexist in the same living space, but soon one species begins to dominate the other. Usually the red cockroach wins. Why is this happening?

Despite the fact that black cockroaches are larger and stronger than Prussians, they show much less care for their offspring. The red cockroach lays its ootheca only in a well-protected, secluded place, giving the larvae a chance to grow up safely. Black cockroaches can leave the ootheca in a visible place, where it can be noticed not only by humans, but also by red cockroaches that eat the ootheca of their fellow cockroaches. It turns out that the red cockroach literally evicts the black one from its territory by reducing its population.

Now let’s return to the methods of eliminating cockroaches and talk about how to get rid of them yourself using chemicals.

Original scientific names of cockroaches

It happens that not only ordinary people, but also entomologists use nicknames. In addition to scientific names, individual representatives of the cockroach genus also have nicknames that reflect their characteristics.

The cockroach, called the "Death's Head", owes its nickname to the ominous black image on its wings.
The already mentioned rhinoceros cockroach got its name from the protrusion on the shield crowning the cephalothorax.
One of the types of cockroaches is called “automobile” for its 2 yellow headlight spots located on the cephalothorax. Their function is to scare away potential enemies.

There are other insects that have additional names that reflect their special properties.

“Ash” cockroaches are endowed with gray wings.
"Banana" live on banana plantations, hiding between the bunches of fruits.
“Furniture” cockroaches prefer all types of materials – wood, and are located mainly in wooden structures.

Chemicals for self-control of cockroaches.

We learned about whether red cockroaches fly, what this insect looks like and the reasons for the appearance of a red cockroach in your apartment. Now we’ll tell you how to get rid of cockroaches yourself using chemicals. Such products are available for purchase at any hardware or country store.

Anti-cockroach products are sold in completely different forms:

Gels and paste-like products that are convenient to apply to baseboards. They are good because they do not have a strong unpleasant odor and a person can be in the room while it is in effect. The cockroach not only poisons itself with the active substance, but also carries it on its legs to the nest, thereby enhancing the effect of the product. In order not to spoil interior items with gels and pastes, it is recommended to apply them with dotted lines on pieces of paper and place them in places where cockroaches accumulate.
Aerosols and sprays that can penetrate between various crevices. they have one significant drawback: such products are unsafe for humans and animals, they require isolation of residents from the premises being treated, and after using aerosols and sprays, it is recommended to do a thorough cleaning. After treating premises with this type of product, long ventilation is required.
Traps containing poisoned bait. They are convenient because they have an adhesive base and are attached to various surfaces.
Crayons, which can also be used to cover any surface. They are ineffective and have a pronounced effect only if the population of cockroaches in your apartment is extremely small or if it is just a couple of “random” individuals that have not had time to reproduce. You must be sure when and where the insects were brought into the house and that there really are still very few of them.
Liquid anti-cockroach products. They are not always on sale in regular hardware stores, but they can easily be ordered online. These products are quite concentrated and close to professional preparations; they should be treated with caution and the instructions on the packaging should be followed very carefully.

Most often, different types of poisons are combined with each other, this helps to achieve the best results. But the knowledge of an ordinary person is not always enough to completely defeat cockroaches. If all the tried methods do not work, then you should contact professionals at the SES.

They use professional products that are not commercially available for self-use and accurately calculate the required dosage of the substance. In addition, in their work, sanitary services use special devices that facilitate the spraying of drugs.

Most often, professional treatment of a room from cockroaches is carried out using the cold fog method using a special device - a fog generator. The smallest droplets of the product sprayed by this method penetrate even the most inaccessible places!

Chemicals

Among the popular remedies for red cockroaches are insecticidal compositions: gels, pastes, sprays and crayons. The components they contain affect the nervous and respiratory systems. Because of this, paralysis occurs and then death.

Many companies make such chemicals, so choosing a gel or aerosol is not difficult. But over time, resistance to pesticides develops. Therefore, the effectiveness is reduced.

The use of aerosols in apartments is unprofitable because it emits an unpleasant odor that takes a long time to dissipate. The treatment is carried out in protective clothing and a respirator, since the composition contains harmful components.

Ultrasonic repellers against cockroaches.

How to remove cockroaches using ultrasonic repellers? Ultrasound repels insects from the room, because living in this place becomes extremely uncomfortable for them.

In addition, there are no risks to the health of humans and pets, because no poisons are used. But, at the same time, not every repeller is truly effective; you need to choose only certain brands with a certain power. The strong power of the repeller can negatively affect a person’s sleep and cause headaches. In our opinion, ultrasonic repellers are not the best remedy for annoying Prussians.

So, now you know quite a lot about the red cockroach:

how does it get into a person’s home;
how it reproduces;
what does it eat;
what methods of disposal exist;
where the cockroach most often lives within the apartment;
why are these insects so tenacious?
who eats red cockroaches;
who is the Prusak nymph;
how to prevent the appearance of cockroaches at home;
how the red cockroach reproduces and what is the life cycle;
How many cockroaches hatch from just one red cockroach egg.

We are confident that by applying this knowledge, you can successfully win the fight against cockroaches in your apartment! We wish you good luck on this difficult path!
