Just in case you need another reminder of how gross cockroaches are, this viral video from Instagram user Martin James shows several dozen of the pests swarming out of a New York City subway drain to feed on discarded food. The video demonstrates why NYC cockroach control is such a daunting task. Where there is one cockroach, there is most certainly a lot more.

Roaches reproduce frequently and in large volume. They are able to adapt a tolerance to poisons about as quickly as new ones are developed. They have also learned to avoid some of the sweet tasting bait traps. It is no wonder they are considered superpests. The lowly roach is able to thrive in just about every environment on the planet and can be found everywhere in the United States from Alaska to Florida.

Although it is unlikely that cockroaches would be able to survive a nuclear blast, they have survived for about 350 million years and earned their reputation as resilient pests that are very difficult to eliminate. They do not just infest dirty households. You can be a meticulous housekeeper who never leaves a crumb on the floor and still suffer an infestation.
