Don't get me wrong, the more food/dirt you leave about the more will come...but yeah, those around here will come and feed on household type stuff, in ADDITION to food.
It's disgusting seeing them around the place...they bother me.

Interestingly... i have never killed a roach in my life, and have only ever seen 2 of the kind we have as vermin in the US. No kidding. i have seen plenty of the hissing roaches in pet stores, but that is about it.

I read that they even eat the plastic coating on electrical wiring, and can cause people's houses to catch fire that way...
Havent heard of any fires...but I can see the potential.
They go where it's warm, like into electrical appliances...etc.
Gross.

The Beverly Hills cockroachers are incredible.

I saw a family of cockroaches that used to eat the cat food left outside. These roaches would actually grab whole pieces of dry cat food and carry them away! They would be struggling with these things and moving slowly. Obviously it was difficult to lift the cat food pieces with their front flippers or whatever. But they did it. And I had tremendous respect for them afterwards...such tenacity!
