Cockroaches are the Rodney Dangerfield’s of the insect world. Out of 3,500-4,000 species of cockroach, only about 30 are considered “pests,” while the rest perform the useful function of eating organic waste in forests, caves, burrows, or brush. Most people could care less about their overall value and consider cockroaches to be disgusting creatures that spread disease and scavenge at night.
Beetles Overview
Beetles are a common infestation that occurs in and around commercial and residential properties. You will mostly find beetles active at night and flying around outdoor light fixtures. There are many different types of beetle and depending on the species and tendencies, you can find them anywhere from around your yard, inside furniture, closets or even your pantry foods.
Because they leave a trail of waste behind them. Roaches especially are known to spread dozens of diseases, including dysentery, diarrhea, asthma, food poisoning, watery eyes, congestion, and rashes. They are most hazardous to those with respiratory ailments, which are irritated after people breathe the fecal matter.
Cockroaches and beetles are amazingly hardy insects that can adapt to almost any environment, go without air for 45 minutes, and exist without food for over a month.
When cockroaches and beetles invade a home, they come to stay and are extremely hard to remove. They love sweets but will feast on the glue on postage stamps, wallpaper paste, hair, grease, dead skin, and anything else they can find. Found on the planet for over 350,000 years, they resist amateur attempts at eviction and usually require professional cockroach removal. Though they live 6-9 months, the egg capsules they leave can produce hundreds of heirs to continue their dirty work.
Roaches and beetles, particularly the German cockroach who are unwelcome residents in American homes, are most often brought into the home from hotels, nursing homes, food processing plants, or grocery stores on the bottoms of shoes or purses. Once there, they prosper and won’t just die off or leave. Even if you are a great housekeeper, they will find plenty of food, warmth, water, and nesting sites. They can remain active all year round, under the refrigerator, behind the stove, and in the walls.

Why? Once they are in your home, they reproduce quickly. They are careful to only come out at night unless they are so abundant that they need to scavenge for food when their comrades are in hiding.
