Myths about Cockroaches
Cockroaches don’t live in Canada. It’s too cold for them.
Cockroaches do indeed live in Canada. They were introduced here by trade. Every province has a cockroach population. They survive the winter by taking shelter indoors. Since they do not need to eat every day, these scary pests can survive long periods in any hiding they find. They can also reproduce very quickly. A female can lay anywhere from 64 to 1,500 eggs over her lifespan, which is about a year, so even if you squish a cockroach dead, another one (or one hundred) could be hiding somewhere in your home.
Cockroaches aren’t dangerous; they’re just ugly.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but cockroaches are indeed dangerous even if they don’t attack and bite you. Cockroaches produce allergens which trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions. They can also carry a variety of pathogens that cause disease outbreaks, especially when they get into food, utensils, and other kitchen surfaces.
Cockroaches only live in dirty places, so my house is safe.
While cockroaches thrive in unsanitary conditions, they can also survive in clean places as well. Since cockroaches can go days without eating, all they look for in a home is warmth, so a clean home can become infested just as easily as any other home.
