Well the grasshopper, bee and beetle are all alike one because obviously they are all animals which are insects and two because they are all insects that have chewing mouth parts. So mosquitoes, moths, butterflies, flies and so on are insects that have sucking mouth parts, where as the ants, bees, wasps, beetles, weevils, grasshoppers, crickets and so on eat by biting and chewing not sucking.

Do mice eat cockroaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I havn't seen an actual mice eating a cockroach, but at my work we HAD a roach problem. I work at a 7000 sq ft sewing factory. Every morning when i turn on the lights, (still dark outside at 6am) I can see and hear the roaches scurring away to their hiding spots. I tried everything, except hiring a pest control company. As days progressed, the sound of these roaches were diminishing. I've noticed more roach legs and antennaes in small corners with the body missing. Recently i saw 2 small mice running around.... now, not a single sign of a roach. i now have a new problem to take care of.. hope this helps

What to do to get rid of roaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the roaches(or cockroaches) live up to a year.

I have been taking care of a cockroach for 18 months (so far) after my cats took one of his legs and and antennae (and no they do not grow back). I feed him organic mixed berry powder and dried cat food crushed up into cockroach bite sizes. He seems to like the berry mix best. He is still doing great after 18 months and he was an adult when I got him so we shall see how long he will live. Oh and of course he gets plenty of fresh filtered water!

Do mothballs get rid of roaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Mothballs don't deter snakes directly. they may keep away mice and other rodents that the snake eats. If there is no food for the snakes, then the snakes wont hang around your house.

I have heard that if you pour kerosene around your yard, they wont cross it because it burns or irritates their skin. Never tryed it but it's something to keep in mind.

Why is cockroaches pests?

Asked by Wiki User

Just the same as anything else, they evolved from simpler creatures to fill the role their species occupies. Natural selection. Cockroaches are generally hearty and reproduce quickly, so they are not likely to die out while the surface of the Earth is still remotely inhabitable.

Is an albino cockroach rare?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, albino animals are rare period. My white face and normal grey cockatiels just hatched 3 chicks. A normal grey, a white with dark pupils and a white with red pupils. I have heard that the latter are just white lutinos with red eyes. But after speaking with my avian vet, he explained that it is possible for all species to have albino counterparts. I wish I could upload a pic. But, they are not unheard of. Google images presented many albino tiels, but of coarse the albinos are not an everyday occurance and they are very special.

Does standing on cockroaches spread their eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can step on cockroaches, but there is a chance that the eggs will hatch.

Roach eggs hatch in about 4 weeks, so if you find a roach, which has eggs in it, you'll flatten and kill the eggs as well, the only time when they survive is when they are about to hatch, that's when they survive, and that's how the "if you step on a cockroach you'll get eggs on your shoes" fable started.

How do you attract cockroaches?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several ways that they come into the home--they are not always there because of the eggs that were laid. 1)They will come in when it rains--especially if your city or county does not spray the sewers. 2)They may have infested a house nearby while it was empty and when people moved in, they simply moved into yours. 3)If your previous home had problems, you may have brought them with you in boxes and paper bags 3)You need to have pest extermination so that they do not reproduce. If you find that when you turn on the light at night that there are some on your counters, you'll need help. Clean out your cupboards thoroughly (empty; wash out and check upper parts for egg cases (yech) and clear any and all clutter before the "bug man" comes.

How do you terminate cockroaches in your house?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First off you will need to identify the type of cockroach you have. You can go to google and search images to see what kind you have. Get to know the characteristics of the bug, find out what they are eating and stop the free loaders. You will need a flash light and when night falls you should do a good inspection on the interior of the structure. Get on your hands and knees and look in every corner and every open areas (such as where the cabinets meet the wall) if you see them use caulk to seal them in. You should still better yet get some kind of bait OTC and inject it in the area and then seal it. Check all your weather stripping around your doors and windows, the idea is to find out how the pest is getting in. Reduce the supply of water on the exterior. At night time do an inspection on the exterior with a flash light. I would try this first, if you can't find any thing of the before mentioned then you will need to call a pest pro.
