Black cockroach: A red cockroach in the house is a tragedy, and a black one is a DISASTER. How do special forces live from the world of pests? (8 photos)

If you are asked which war was the longest in the history of mankind, take the time to google it to show off your historical knowledge. The answer is extremely simple - the war against cockroaches! Despite the creation of dichlorvos, crayons and slippers, these insects still terrorize us with their illegal proximity. But the Prussians are just light artillery. Meet the black cockroaches - the maroon berets of the cockroach army.





The victorious march of the black mustachioed column across the planet began somewhere in Southeast Asia. Their ancestors lived in the wild, practicing fighting techniques on wild animals. Secretly penetrating vehicles, cockroaches quickly spread throughout Eurasia.



One glance is enough to understand: jokes with these comrades are bad. The sizes are gigantic, up to 4 centimeters. Color - mourning, black. The equipment is top class. Only males have wings, but they don’t really need flight: suckers and claws on their legs allow insects to climb onto any surface. The special purpose cockroach agent is capable of moving in pitch darkness. He uses his mustache as night vision goggles: he sniffs it to find goodies on your table, and touches it to navigate in space.





So that you understand what a big difference there is between a Prussian and a black cockroach.

Unlike red brawlers, who settle in any corner, black cockroaches build their bases in the darkest, dampest and most protected places. Often - in the basements of multi-storey buildings, from where they raid the apartments of unsuspecting residents at night.



Cockroaches have not signed any conventions, so insects use biological weapons without a twinge of conscience. All they have to do is leave a “mine” on the kitchen table or chew a crumb to present the owner of the living space with a bouquet of sores. The list of diseases is very diverse: from skin to genitourinary infections. But the worst thing is that a black cockroach will not run away from a sneaker hanging over it. He can go on the attack himself!

Of course, he won’t be able to bite through the skin anywhere - his jaws are rather weak. But if the creature gets to the delicate areas of the skin, the consequences of such contact can be the most dire. The bite site becomes swollen and red, and ulcers appear around it. But the most important thing is that the infection carried by the fighter enters the bloodstream, increasing the risk of infection significantly.



Don't wait for the cockroach to start biting you. Bite him first!

Do you think subversive activities against people end here? Whatever the case! Along with black cockroaches, black mold can also come into the house. Living in damp basements, pests automatically become carriers of their spores.



Cockroach special forces on operations to spoil your products.

Cockroaches regularly replenish their army. Having closely communicated with some ensign, the female grows a cassette with 16 eggs and lays it in a dark corner. From this landing capsule emerges young animals, ready from birth to go into battle.



How can you prevent these dangerous enemies from entering your home? Glue traps, poisonous crayons, toxic substances are a waste of effort and money. One of the fighters will definitely survive. Moreover, it will give life to a population resistant to poison.



One crumb is enough for a cockroach to live for several days.

The recipe for a successful war is simple and complex at the same time: keep your home clean, your bathroom and kitchen dry, and your food in closed containers. And this should ALWAYS be done. Red cockroaches can live without water and food for up to 40 days. Black cockroaches, being the pumped up version, survive even after 2 months of hunger strike. So patience, cleanliness and work - any cockroach will be crushed, regardless of its color.
