Just now I read something via the net and I learned a very horrible fact. If you find one cockroach in your house, that means to say actually there are at least 20000 cockraches at your home Do you believe it?

Yes! The world population of cockroaches are hiding behind my kitchen cabinet where I can't get to them! I would destroy it, but it isn't mine - it comes with the rented flat.

It is too difficult to destroy all the cockroaches.

May be as per science researches it is true. But it is not possible in all cases, in my home also cockroaches are there, but not in that much of quantity.

Nope, I don't believe it. Sadly, a few were brought into the house from someone in the basement, but we nipped it in the bud and there aren't that many there. If you let it get out of hand, sure, you'll have that many.

One is enough! And they grow up to be pretty big. I rented a room at a motel once down south that had them. Oh! Gives me the willies. I don't care for bugs. Did when I was little but not anymore. I wonder if you have them in one place and so you move if you could take them with you. Wouldn't be horrible?

Yeah, i have also read that they have been alive even since the time of the dinosaurs.. But they were as big as our arms.. It is very fortunate that they have grown so much smaller.

Yes, I think it's true. The cockroach eggs would be almost everywhere...esp. dark, damp places and then they hatch and you would have hundreds of them in your home. They wouldn't be seen much during the day time except for the stray couple here and there. But try coming out at night and suddenly switching on the light...the kitchen would be a good place and you can see many of them.

Ew, that is a horrible fact! Thank goodness I have never seen a cockroach before. Our house seems to be overrun with spiders this year for some reason. There are ones building webs on the sides of our house that get as big as a quarter at least. I was sitting here earlier today and one started lowering itself down from the ceiling.

There is some grains of truth to it. Cockroaches are fast multiplier. When you see one roaming in your kitchen, there are a colony of them hiding somewhere in the house and will invade your kitchen anytime especially during the night. Once you see one, it is advisable to ask the pest control company check these cockroaches hideouts.

Although I do not have any in my home and have not seen any since I was a child. I can believe there are many in a home, simply because they grow by the loads. I remember as a child and living in the different guardian homes. They use to once a month fumigate the home and still they were never able to get rid of the problem. Maybe since they were not professionals some escaped and continue to have several more daily. So yes I can believe it.
