HEALTH RISKS OF COCKROACHES

Because they are drawn to human food, cockroaches are a cause of food contamination. Cockroaches both defecate and regurgitate on the food that they eat. While this is disgusting on its own, it also spreads bacteria and parasites that may be living inside of them. Some of the dangers of cockroaches in this regard include bacterial infections. A bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa is particularly found in cockroaches and can be transmitted to humans. The Salmonella bacteria can also be spread by cockroaches, where it can cause diseases ranging from food poisoning to typhoid.https://pioneerpest.com/cockroach-exter ... n/dangers/
They also bite you while you sleep and suck on your blood.

OK. Time to move this over to the Darknet forum with all its blood and guts.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

If the kitchen adjoins some back alley and there are any loose-fitting covers or grills over drains or a lot of commerce and garbage nearby it can be difficult to control. So all entrances need fly screens and any dodgy gaps need to be filled. As above, they need to be poisoned, while you go around and check every nook and cranny in the kitchen and bleach the fuck out of it. Fill in any cracks. Check all the drains in the building and put suitable screens on them. From then on the kitchen will have to be kept meticulously clean, and all food waste put in a closed bin.

This is a great chart. In London we had German Cockroaches, they were small but still gruesome. As far as I've seen it's mostly those huge American Cockroaches over here, with a few Orientals.

I do not partake in cannabis. I just think hemp is really cool.

Nah, I think all the suggestions here are on the wrong track. :facepalm: Gotta think outside the box. There's actually a business opportunity in the making here...especially if the resto is located in Casinoville. :hattip:

Breed them and wack them on the menu to serve the ever demanding Chinese palate and penchant for the health benefits of eating these little critters.. :thumb:

Don't know why they need to breed them, the fuckers are everywhere. I also am creeped out by them. Especially when they take to the air, however briefly!
