Ginger is being found to be an excellent, all-natural roach exterminator. Other solutions to a roach problem include removing all food crumbs and water from the home and leaving raw garlic cloves laying around.

Crickets of most species have the horsepower and strong mandibles to inflict a bite. They generally don't have the strength to get through the skin of the hands, but softer skin is prime as a target. They apparently feast on blood, as do so many insects. While I can't find any literature on crickets carrying any specific pathogens (which is good), blood feeders can do this (which is less good), so cleanliness is the way to go here. Clean the bite thoroughly in warm, soapy water. Be thorough and take your time. Dry the wound with a sterile dressing (or let it air-dry). Apply either Betadine, hydrogen peroxide, or (my favorite), a combination of both. Bandage the wound (a Band-aid should do), and watch it.

If it heals (which I expect), wonderful! If, however, it remains red or gets redder, starts feeling hot to the touch, or otherwise acts infected, head for the doc, for antibiotics.

If a cockroach is drowned in water, all of its organs will stop functioning. Because they have no gills, they cannot survive under water.

Bed bugs are inactive during the daytime, but they are not actually sleeping. The very tiny nervous systems of insects are too small for that kind of process to occur. Insects behave instinctively rather than consciously, and they do not need sleep to help them to sort out their thoughts and memories of the day, neither do they dream.

• speed
• no very picky with food
• sleep habits
• it can live without its head for 7 days the only reason it dies is because of starvation
• it can survie nucler blasts like raidation

There are over 5,000 species of cockroaches and can vary in color from brown, black, yellow, red, green, white (when it sheds is skeleton) and variations of multiple colors. You can see a few here: http://www.angelfire.com/oh2/Roaches/

The American cockroach can give off up to 35g a year of methane; more than 43 times their average body weight. However it is a myth that cockroaches fart every 15 minutes, with experts concluding it was much less.

A cockroach is an insect.All insects have six legs,therefore a cockroach has six legs.

Cockroaches have malpighian tubules which are the secretion organs. Digested food is passed to the organs which then expels it from the insect.

cats are the cleanest animal in world even their saliva is clean

White glue or carpenter's glue (you may know it as Elmer's glue) is made from protein, and therefore can be eaten by cockroaches. There are other kinds of glue which are not edible even by cockroaches.

Yes, raccoons ahve tongues.

There does not seem to be any reason to expect cockroaches to die out; they are a very successful species, however, if they were unexpectedly to die out, their ecological niche would be quickly filled by other scavenging insects, of which there are many.

Like all insects, the cockroach has six legs.

The answer is B Vermin is less specific, so the reader feels as confused as Gregor about what is happening.

Worldwide there are about 3,500 species of cockroaches. The United States alone is home to more than 50 different varieties. Of those species, there are about four kinds of cockroaches that are considered pests.

Mosquitoes have mouth parts that are adapted for piercing the skin of plants and animals. While males typically feed on nectar and plant juices, the female needs to obtain nutrients from "blood" before she can produce eggs.

For a few days!!

i too would like to knwo the answer. i have been dooing a science experiment on essential oils as non-toxic cockroach repellents.

i also know that cinnaom and tea tree oil will also kill kill cockroaches when exposed to them. i have yet to 2 discover the reason why.

Cockroaches can survive a long time without their heads. I know, it's disgusting.

No...the horseshoe crab is the oldest living species..some 400million yrs old...and in fishes its coelacanth which is some 350 million yrs old..Cockroach is regarded as the most sucessful species

A cockroach can live up to 2 weeks without having its head attached to its body.

Yes. Cockroaches are very fast. That makes them harder to get rid of. And then when you stomp on the slow ones, they don't live long enough to have slow babies. But all the fast ones escape to make fast babies.

So they get faster and cleverer with every generation. Aagh!
