15 years ago a miracle happened - all cockroaches disappeared. Grandmothers cried and said that to be a war. Housewives were happy that the nasty baleen pests left our homes.
The men exulted - it’s not scary to turn on the light at night. But the alarm was, and the question constantly tormented - Where did they go? Scientists have explained this phenomenon by the advent of cellular communication. Years passed and now they returned again.

Prusak. Red cockroach. is he main resident in houses and apartments. More than 80% of the cockroaches that live next to a man are red cockroaches.
Small, only 1-1.5 cm in length. They have large wings and can sometimes fly. The female lays eggs in a small capsule. In one clutch there are up to 30 eggs. It takes 2-3 months from an egg to an adult. Breed all year round.

Sometimes cockroaches wander from one apartment to another in whole batches if the neighbors decide to fight them. Or, on the contrary, they do not want to engage in the destruction of pests, and they have multiplied so much that there was not enough space.
