Why Cockroaches Are Dangerous for Your Family’s Health
04 Nov 2025
Cockroaches are often seen as common household pests, but their health risks are far greater than most people realize. They thrive in damp and dirty places like sinks, drains, and garbage areas, and then move across food surfaces carrying harmful germs.
Scientific studies show that cockroaches can contaminate food with pathogens such as E.coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus, causing illnesses like diarrhea, typhoid, and food poisoning. They leave behind feces, saliva, and shed skin, which can trigger asthma and allergies, especially in children and elderly people.
Most homeowners try sprays or home remedies, but these solutions only kill a small percentage of cockroaches. The major population remains hidden behind appliances, cupboards, and wall cracks — multiplying rapidly. One cockroach can lead to hundreds within a few weeks.
