    There are three things that cockroaches must have in order to survive: food, a place to hide, and a source of water. Therefore, to keep your home free of cockroaches, the most important thing is to do a good job of cleaning in the kitchen and cupboards, sealing the food in bottles and jars so that cockroaches can't find something to eat.

    In addition, in order not to give cockroaches a place to hide, the kitchen layout should be simple, there should be no dead corners that are difficult to clean, and when the kitchen floor, wall corners and cabinets can be kept clean and dry, the moisture and water sources that cockroaches need are cut off. In such an environment, cockroaches have no conditions to reproduce and survive, and they will naturally decrease. In the public environment, in addition to good environmental hygiene, it is also necessary to spray chemicals regularly and check regularly, which may reduce the harm caused by cockroaches to humans.

    In fact, humans have been fighting cockroaches for nearly one or two thousand years, but they have never been eliminated, the main reasons are: first, the survival ability and reproductive ability of cockroaches are too strong; Second, the unsanitary environment of humans has created favorable conditions for cockroaches. Third, the world has not yet developed a medicine bait to completely eliminate cockroaches.

    Cockroaches are particularly tenacious, and there is no natural death in autumn and winter. However, autumn and winter, especially just after heating, is the best time to exterminate cockroaches, if the density of cockroaches in the family or unit is high, you can take the opportunity to exterminate cockroaches.

    Cockroaches like to congregate in warm, humid, well-fed and crevice-populated places, so after central heating, cockroaches will "move closer" to the heating equipment. During the period before heating, cockroaches tend to gather behind appliances that can dissipate heat, such as refrigerators, microwave ovens, ovens, and water heaters. In addition, the kitchen is also a place with a high density of cockroaches because of the abundance of food.

    Even when there is no food in the living environment, cockroaches can survive by nibbling on confetti. Therefore, cockroach extermination is a long-term project, and home cockroach extermination does not need to wait for the best time, and can be found and sanitized at any time.

    If a male cockroach is placed in a closed container, it can last about 10 days without water, but it will not really die unless it is more than 30 days old.

    On top of that, female cockroaches can lay eggs even in the absence of male cockroaches in extreme conditions. That is, many female cockroaches become hermaphrodites after a single mating and can lay eggs continuously without mating. Therefore, cockroach reproduction is a combination of sexual and asexual reproduction.

    The larvae that have just hatched from the egg sheath are gathered around the egg sheath, which is white, and then the color gradually darkens and spreads out, and the larvae are similar in shape to adults, but the body is small, wingless, and the sexual organs are immature.

    The larvae develop slowly. It must undergo multiple molts to grow gradually, and the number of antennae and tail whiskers also increases with age. After the last molt, the larvae grow wings and emerge into adults.

    Freshly molted larvae and newly emerged adults are also white and gradually darker in color, so that a species of cockroach can also change in a population according to environmental conditions.

    The larval stage is long, generally lasting about 30 450 days. After the larvae lose their appendages or damage their antennae, they can regenerate in the next instar after molting. Regeneration of this type of injury also increases the number of molts.

    Male and female adults can be easily distinguished by their external morphology:

    A: The tail end of the male cockroach has two pairs of appendages, one pair is a segmented tail whisker, and there is also a pair of small needle processes (ventral spines); Female cockroaches have only one pair of appendages at the tail end, that is, tail whiskers, without needles.

    B: Male cockroaches are generally thin and elongated, while female cockroaches are fat and wide.

    C: In a few species, males have well-developed wings that extend to the tail end, but females have wings that cover only the front half of the abdomen, or are wingless.
