    Because even if the cockroach dies, it can still "give birth". Let's say you see a cockroach at home and "biaji" squash it. Cockroaches are dead, but there is a good chance that the eggs in their bodies will splash out and fall elsewhere.

    Cockroach eggs, on the other hand, can still hatch after leaving the mother's body.

    So, stepping on a dead cockroach does not prevent them from multiplying. Instead, it is possible to come into contact with bacteria in the process. Because they carry a lot of viruses and bacteria, they can be transmitted by human contact.

    Moreover, if you step on a dead cockroach and throw it in the trash, the smell of its corpse is likely to attract more cockroaches. Because cockroaches are social creatures, they also have the habit of eating their companions.

    Stepping on cockroaches with their feet, in case there are egg sheaths left in the cracks of their shoes after stepping on them, and walking around at home, hatching them expands their range of activity.

    Cockroaches have a strong vitality, and although the cockroach is dead, its body may carry cockroach egg sheaths, and the egg sheaths inside are still viable. If you throw a dead cockroach in the trash, the cockroach egg sheath carried by the dead cockroach can also breed cockroaches; In addition, if the egg sheath is left in the gap of the shoe after stepping on it, walking around the house, hatching will expand their range of motion.

    The best way to dispose of dead cockroaches is to burn them with fire, so that even those with egg sheaths can be burned to death; It can also be scalded with boiling water, and the cockroach carcasses or egg sheaths scalded with boiling water can be thrown into the sewer to flush off.

    Cockroaches, like rats, are one of the "four pests", and they are all "everyone shouts and fights". However, in comparison, there are really not many people who dare to go up and step directly on the rats, but it is different when encountering cockroaches, this guy is small and will not squeak, so there is no pressure to solve one with one foot. However, there are many people who say that they can't step on cockroaches with their feet.

    Is there any scientific basis for this claim? Let's talk about this briefly.

    First of all, let's take a look at the saying "cockroaches can't be trampled to death" on the Internet, there are many sayings about cockroaches can't be trampled to death, and overall, there are two that seem to make more sense:

    First, cockroaches carry many pathogens, and when trampled to death, these pathogens may be carried to other places by the soles of their shoes

    Second, after a cockroach is trampled to death, the eggs in its body are still alive, because if a cockroach is trampled to death, a group of small cockroaches may be born

    Both of these statements seem to be particularly reasonable at first glance, after all, the main harm of cockroaches to humans is that they carry many pathogens, which is a threat to human health. And, cockroaches do have a large number of unhatched eggs inside their egg sheaths. As a result, many people believe these two statements.

    However, what I want to say is:Both claims are rumors. Why?

    Let's break it down briefly.

    After stepping on a dead cockroach, many pathogens will be spread everywhere with shoes? As one of the "four pests", cockroaches do have their own strength, it not only has tenacious vitality (seven days without a head), but also has a strong reproductive ability, and the most important thing is that there are more than 40 kinds of bacteria on the cockroach, and most of them can threaten human health. However, as long as you have a cockroach in your home, you don't step on it to death, its bacteria are all there, and they don't increase or decrease.

    First of all, cockroaches belong to the category of "eat-and-pull" insects, this is because insects do not have a complex intestine like us humans that can store both digested and undigested food. Therefore, as long as the cockroach that is pulled while eating carries bacteria, then it must be bacteria everywhere it goes. It doesn't have much to do with whether you step on it or not.

    Moreover, even if we are trampled to death and there are bacteria on the soles of our feet, we will no longer run around with our shoes on our shoes after stepping on the dead cockroaches (bursting pulp), and we will inevitably clean them up. It's much safer than when you fall asleep and cockroaches pull everywhere.

    Secondly, what kind of bacteria the cockroach carries on its body depends entirely on the environment it is in, in other words, it depends on the hygiene of your home, because it does not make bacteria by itself, but only stays in places where there are bacteria.

    Therefore, it is a complete rumor that a dead cockroach will carry bacteria everywhere. Rather than worrying about spreading germs by stepping on them, it is better to get hygienic first and make it more realistic for them to have no food to eat.

    Cockroaches cannot be trampled to death directly, because only the mother of the cockroach is trampled to death with their feet, and the eggs that live in the mother's body are still there. When guessing the mother, the cockroach's eggs may be squeezed out. Leads to the derivation of more cockroaches.

    Because the vitality of the cockroach is particularly tenacious, it is difficult to be trampled to death, and after stepping on it, it may still crawl away.

    The fecundity of cockroaches is very strong, when stepping on cockroaches, the cockroach eggs in it are still there, and the cockroach eggs will reproduce on their own, so you must not step on them with your feet, otherwise there will be more and more.
