EVERYONE! COCKROACHES CAN BE DANGEROUS BUT CAN BE TREATED!

ARE COCKROACHES DANGEROUS?
Cockroaches are not the most sanitary insects. They feed on garbage, breed in sewage and lay waste all over your kitchen counter. One look at their daily habits may have you wondering, “Are cockroaches harmful?” There are a few things to consider.

DO ROACHES CARRY DISEASE?
Cockroaches can carry pathogens that may cause disease. One study at Cambridge University identified 30 different species of bacteria associated with cockroaches living in close proximity to humans (across 50 different apartments). Although cockroaches haven’t been linked to any specific outbreaks, they may play a role in spreading certain infections. According to the World Health Organization, cockroaches are known or suspected carriers of the microorganisms that can cause diarrhea, dysentery, cholera, leprosy, plague, typhoid fever and viral diseases, such as poliomyelitis. Though they likely won't be the main cause of a disease spreading, they can play a supplementary role.

CAN COCKROACHES HURT YOU?
Cockroaches cause many people anxiety. The appearance of one in a home may cause some to feel self-conscious or judged. Because of this, many people have established a fear of cockroaches. They might ask, “Are cockroaches poisonous?” or “Are roaches dangerous if they are living in your home?” Cockroaches do not produce any form of poison and have no ability to sting. In rare circumstances, they have been known to bite people, but this is not a common occurrence.

ARE ROACHES HARMFUL TO PEOPLE WITH ALLERGIES?
Current research shows that asthma and other allergies can be worsened by the presence of cockroaches. Asthma is one of the most prevalent causes of hospitalization in children. According to the Mallis Handbook of Pest Control by Arnold Mallis, “About 26 percent of the U.S. population is sensitive to German cockroach allergen by skin-test.”
