Roaches can live for weeks without food or water. However, they are scavengers and will eat anything, including decaying organic material, hair, leather, books fabric, and toothpaste. They’re primarily drawn to starchy or sweet food.
Most importantly, roaches are a health hazard, releasing allergens and flaring up asthma symptoms. They also spread disease such as E.coli, salmonella, and dysentery. The chemicals in their feces and their pheromones can easily transmit bacteria, and they can carry disease on their bodies.
If you see one roach, it’s a strong possibility that you have an infestation. The quickest and most reliable way to deal with roaches is to call professional roach exterminators. Rudy’s Termite & Pest Control are experts in getting rid of roaches in the Coachella Valley – call us today.
