The Secret Nightlife of Cockroaches (That You Definitely Don’t Want at Home)


While you’re snoozing peacefully, cockroaches are throwing their own version of an after-hours party in your kitchen. Lights off? They’re out exploring countertops, searching for crumbs, and showing off their impressive speed (they can run up to 3 mph—basically the Usain Bolt of pests).

Fun-but-terrifying facts:
• Cockroaches can live a week without their heads. Yes, a week.
• They’ve been around for over 300 million years—longer than dinosaurs.
• They can survive on almost anything… even the glue from envelopes.

As fascinating as these resilient insects are, they’re also big fans of bacteria, allergens, and causing chaos where you least want it. If your home is feeling like a roach nightclub after dark, don’t worry—we specialize in shutting the party down.
