Cockroaches To a large degree the cockroach is a maligned species. In itself it is quite harmless. It doesn't bite or sting. The problem with cockroaches is the places they prefer to live in. These include drains, sewers and grease traps, cracks and most dirty places.
In general cockroaches do not eat much food but tend to infect it and spread disease. While cockroaches are no proof of dirty premises, unhygienic conditions, dirty dishes and food particles left lying around will attract them. They tend to prefer vegetable matter but will eat almost anything. They are night creatures and like to hide in dark corners and inside food packages by day.
Rodents Rodents are highly destructive creatures creating enormous damage and spreading diseases. Their excreta and hair contaminates food, causing poisoning and economic loss. Rat colonies damage and foul buildings and furnishings. Their odour is unpleasant to live with. Rats normally come out at night and usually are not seen unless they are very hungry or present in large numbers. The damage they can do is almost unbelievable at times. They have to keep gnawing to prevent their incisor (biting) teeth from growing too long.
Indoors, they will attack the building itself, gnawing lead, aluminum and chewing through wiring causing short circuits and fires. Rats are usually scavengers eating any available food lying around. They are known to attack small animals and at times, even children. Two main signs that indicate rodents are present is evidence of droppings and squeaking, gnawing or movement noises in walls, cupboards, ceilings and under floors.
