PLAGUE OF COCKROACHES.

   Roaches are flattened insects body, can be measured in the range of 3 to 65 mm, with filiform antennas that serve to guide, because they lack the sense of hearing, are virtually blind, they use their antennae to detect vibrations in the surfaces changes temperature and humidity. They have feet long and thorny and mouthparts crushing. They prefer to be in groups and some insects are very difficult to eliminate, can survive for more than a month without water can absorb humidity with his body.

    It is estimated that cockroaches have been present on earth for more than 200 million years, suffering little change in its evolution. At present there are more than 3,500 species. Most of the cockroaches are tropical, only three species of cockroaches are temperate, the common cockroach black (Blatta orientalis), the American cockroach (Periplaneta american) and the German cockroach blond or (Blatella Germanic), spread across the world as a result of moving commercial goods.

These insects need to live through heat, food, dampness and a to shelter.

     They are insects who work mostly at night, they need food, moisture, heat and a safe haven to hide during the day in cracks or voids, where they spend 75% of their lives. Roaches are very proliferas insects, a female can make between 6 to 33 eggs in a home with one that is detected is estimated to be with a few dozen more hidden. These insects usually live in the same place several species at the same time, it is possible that without estimating the minimum change in our home can accommodate a plague of cockroaches. The most favorable conditions for expansion are air conditionings of buildings, which keep conditions similar atmosphere all stations, coupled with the reproductive capacity of cockroaches, provides a continuous presence of these insects throughout the year.

    Roaches often live in colonies democratic consultation assembly in the decisions that affect the entire community, cooperate spontaneously to unite into groups that will allow them to get some benefits, such as greater potential for reproductive or attainment of food. The mechanism behaves group argues through a chemical communication, visual and tactile by the antennas, and is completely the need for a leader. Roaches follow a predictable pattern, in a future that might explain a functional study the dynamics of these insects.

It is indispensable when we detect cockroaches to do a very exhaustive cleanliness.

     While it may consider carnivorous prefer floury  foods and sweets with high starch content, fats and sugars, feed at night, but performed in a variety of materials, they do not mind nibble anything edible, from leather, paper, insect dead, human waste until glue.
