Cockroaches thrive in dumps because these environments provide abundant food sources, including decaying organic matter and waste. The warm, humid conditions found in such places also offer an ideal habitat for their reproduction and survival. Additionally, the shelter of debris and refuse protects them from predators and harsh weather, making dumps a prime location for these resilient insects.
Depending on the species, an adult cockroach lives for weeks or months.
