German Cockroaches can Survive on Almost Nothing

One of the reasons German cockroaches are so difficult to get rid of is their ability to survive for long periods without food. While they prefer to feast on crumbs, grease, and garbage, they can go without food for up to a month. If food is scarce, they will resort to eating almost anything, including glue, soap, and even book bindings. However, they do require water more frequently and usually need to drink at least once every few days to stay alive. This adaptability makes them well-suited to living in human environments, where they can find water sources in kitchens, bathrooms, and drains. When they do, please contact a professional cockroach control company.
