cockroaches

Cockroaches are carriers of pathogens and allergens, making them a  threat to human health. They can contaminate food and utensils with disease-causing bacteria, such as Salmonella and E. coli. Cockroach allergens can trigger asthma attacks. Cockroaches are prolific breeders capable of producing hundreds of offspring within a short period. Cockroach allergens become airborne, circulating and causing respiratory coughing, sneezing, and itchy eyes. Cockroaches can squeeze through tiny openings, so they often seek refuge in cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and cabinets.
