in the service of nature

Cockroaches are decomposing insects, that is, they feed on dead organic matter (such as the remains of animals and plants), transforming it back into nutrients for the soil, which will be reused by the plants. Without cockroaches and other decomposing beings, we would live on gigantic piles of garbage. On second thought, until they have their value, no

In the world, there are about four thousand species of cockroaches, of which one thousand are present in Brazil. Most live in forest regions and other natural environments – only 40 can be considered pests.

The most common of them is the american periplanet, the famous sewage cockroach. Inside the pipes of big cities, she found a great environment to live: protected from light and its natural predators – such as scorpions, lizards and chickens – and with plenty of food – our waste.

Through the manholes, the american periplanet it conquers the streets and invades the houses, which it also reaches through the drains. Once inside our homes, it likes to hide near water and food, as in kitchen cupboards.

In these places, he usually sticks his ootheca, that is, his eggs, from which about 20 cockroaches come out after about 40 days of development. Then it's an infestation for sure!
