We want to get rid of these disgusting transmitters of disease.
These crawling insects are absolutely synonymous with dirt and filth, and to make matters worse, like a giant bacteria magnet, they can also assist in the spread of disease!
Cockroaches do not spend time cleaning up after themselves and they never wash their hands. That means that roaches running around your kitchen counters are more than troubling. After picking up germs and bacteria in places like bathrooms, garbage dumps, and sewers and drains, cockroaches then carry those contaminants to food storage and prep areas in the home – your home! These insects can bring disease and bacteria such as E. coli, salmonella, and parasitic worms into your cosy home and make you and everyone else sick.
Cockroaches can sustain themselves on the glue from a postage stamp which reiterates just how extremely hardy they are .

Once they take hold, they can be very hard to find which means it can be a tough job to get rid of an infestation. They scurry and stowaway in the dark, forgotten corners of your home — beneath the fridge, the sink and even your air vents.
