Cockroaches

Well my Dubias produce 30 babies a month. [If breeding is doing very good.]

Yes, but usually they only eat the shed skin of other roaches.

Most exterminators agree that a good bait is your best choice. The reason is that it is nearly impossible to put a dust or other product in every nook and cranny that a roach can reside.

A popular and well known bait is MRF 2000 that was invented by landlords to control infestations in apartments in a cost-effective way.

The bait is made by mixing boric acid with other all natural roach attractants. One application will last an entire year. That's pretty impressive. You can puchase MRF 2000 at www.roachkillerproducts.com or www.howtogetridofroaches.net.

There is another bait that is called maxforce and it also works well, but MRF 2000 is much more cost-effective; especially for large areas.

Dust, sprays, foggers, etc. all get into the air and that is toxic. Bait is also toxic if you eat it, but it is much easier to apply it appropriately because you have so much more control.

Baits will kill the entire colony as the adults take the bait back to the nymphs for feeding.

I work in property management and would be happy to give anyone information on where to get it for a significant discount through email.

There is a product called roach blaster it claims to kill cockroaches by the colony and does just that. Depending on the size of your home you may have to purchase 5 or more packs. It is 100% organic, safe for humans and pets however it is a poison and proper precautions need to be taken as with all poisons. The product is in powder form and can be sprinkled anywhere such as in electrical junctions, TV remotes, kitchen cabinets, behind and under fridges etc.

I lived above an Asian bakery and had a huge problem with German (tiny) roaches and couldn't find anything that worked until i found Roach Blaster.

Boric Acid- completely organic, non-repellant & doesn't break down is onsidered the best overall and cheapest roach killer in the industry.

Boric acid can work but doesn't attract the roach so u have to put the boric acid almost everywhere however more importantly it is considered highly dangerous around kids and pets.

Boric Acid always works if it's dry and properly applied and you only apply to harborages voids etc where people can't touch, number one. number 2, you would not put enough out in any facility to hurt anyone even if they could get to it and 3, your stomach cannot hold enough boric acid to really hurt you since toxicity is based on body weight and 4, if you want to make it attractive you can bait right over it since it's not repellant, but there is no need since they are living in it if you do it right and 5 it is considered a low toxicity or green product as much so as bait and is 100% organic, and 6 if your kids ever held chalk at school they have had their hands in it and 7 a granular bait is not only impractical indoors, it is the wrong consistency. Roaches test their food (including hardness) before they eat it. How are you going to stick that bait on a vertical surface. I have been licensed longer than anyone in my state and do nothing but roaches in places that get closed immediately if even 1 is found. If anyone wants a bait- I can tell you what works and where to get it cheap and how to apply it for anyone that wants to contact me via my board because some of it is proprietary info. but I am completely unaffiliated with suplliers.

Yes, cockroaches will eat an onion. The cockroach will feeds on almost anything that is left out on a counter.

A way to get rid of Cockroaches can be a variety of ways, for some inexpensive home made insecticides, you can mix baking soda and powdered sugar. The baking soda is extremely lethal to cockroaches. But, don't just put down baking soda cause cockroaches can sense it, and know to stay away from it. Since cockroaches love powdered sugar, the smell can over take the senses that can prevent the cockroach from killing them. But put together you get a very good remedy of insecticide. The baking soda and powdered sugar is only lethal to cockroaches so it won't kill your pets, (unless they are bugs or insects). Another is to just spray Kaboom on the live cockroach and it will die within a minute. Or you can just spray around cracks and crevices. But, be careful cause it is very poisonous to dogs and cats. So spray out of reach of children and pets.

BUT DON'T SPRAY ON WOOD FLOORING, OR IT WILL RUIN YOUR WOOD FLOOR!!!

Yes actually there are quite a few places throughout the world that consume spiders. For instance, in the jungles of Africa the natives there hunt and catch large tarantulas, flip their legs back tied and roast them over open fires. They then consume and pick the meet from the spiders large abdomens/body. Tarantulas are considered a delicacy in Cambodia and Piaroa Indians of southern Venezuela. It is said to be compared to the consistency and taste of shrimp.

There are many types of roach pesticides and repellents on the market. It is best to prepare the repellent as instructed on the label.

No, like most insects, honey bees have a complete lifecycle (egg, larva, pupa, adult).

Only insects such as cockroaches have an incomplete metamorphosis (egg, several stages of nymph or 'instar' then adult, with no larval/pupal stages)

well considering how durable the cockroach can be that's a debatable question. it takes strong poisons and a variety of different gasses to kill the roach and meanwhile it isn't a vary quick technique....as for its survival there isn't to much to concern of considering how fast they multiply. however if the problem has truly or ever occurs humans defiantly would be they're match if they aren't ours. its probably best to keep colonies in specifically built nature preserves.

Good question - and there is more than one answer. It all depends on the species you see. In the UK we tend to get 2 common species - the Oriental Cockroach (Blatta orientalis) tends to lay one egg (oothecae) per month and this contains approximately 16 first stage cockroaches. The other common species in the UK is the German Cockroach. The female lays an egg case that contains between 30 and 40 first stage cockroach nymphs. Hope this helps.

It will not effectively kill the roaches. You will need a follow-up treatment about 2 weeks later to kill the hatchling nymphs.

smells like stale cigarette w/ a touch of kitty pee. i have smelled the attar of palmetto roaches and it will burn my whole respiratory area. totally believe, how they are bad for asthma and allergy sufferers. like a strong dose of lysol spray will do.

The Madagascar hissing lorraine (Gromphadorhina portentosa), also known as the hissing roach or simply hisser, is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 2-3 inches at maturity.

It depends on the species.

The average female cockroach can lay around 30-40 eggs at once.

However the German Cockroach can lay around 40-50 eggs at once.

A female cockroach can lay eggs up to eight times before it dies. That's a total of around 300-400 eggs in one female cockroach's lifetime.

i think so. i put out salt water which i needed for a project then after a day i found three dead roaches in it.

Yes Yes it does

All insects and arachnids are invertebrates and have exoskeletons.

"One night in Sydney former Queensland coach Barry Muir sat down to watch the news on a dodgy TV. It was the mid-1970s and Muir had tuned in to catch a glimpse of a report on the New South Wales side."

Essentially the audio clip says that the players looked like cockroaches because of the antenna sitting on the telly which was appearing above their heads. He used it at training, and it snowballed from there.

Old Answer which was listed....

i think it's because of a coachroach that is on the endanged species list that lives on lord howe island..

There are 12 major groups of CNS ganglia (ganglions) in a cockroach:

- 3 in the head:

supra-oesophageal (cerebral) ganglia

sub-oesophageal ganglia

circum-oesophageal connectives

- 3 in the thorax:

prothoracic ganglia

mesothoracic ganglia

metathoracic ganglia

- 6 in the abdomen:

first through fifth abdominal ganglia (fused from pairs)

sixth abdominal ganglia (fused from a group)

The cockroach central nervous system has a double ventral nerve cord in the thorax and abdomen.

No an insect is a insect that crawls or fly.

yeah they do throgh theyre antenas.

Only certain roaches have the ability to actually fly. Examples of these would be, the Asian Cockroach, Australian Cockroach and the Smokey Brown Cockroach.

well not im my opinion but they do lay eggs in the corners of drawers though. but they do crawl into your clothes and and hide in your clothes. so be careful if your friends have roaches in their house. don't sit on anything like couches or anything because they be in their to.
